And…

Oh ya, we missed our window! Natural birth, less than a half hour of pushing. It came on really fast — before the attending made it in the room.
We haven’t really seen our daughter yet. They’re stitching Nic up and having a hard time clearing Abi’s airway right now and her color “isn’t right.”
They’re telling [...]

Oh my…

So after those last couple really painful contractions Nic decided she was ready for an epidural.
The nurse came in and told us that we’d have to wait… The lady next door had just asked before us.
Moments later we heard a shattering wail/scream… Then the nurse came in and informed us that the anasthesiologist had just [...]

Update

Nic’s hooked up to a round of anitbiotics which is a little less than halfway done. When its finished theyll break her water and kick things off…
In other news, the cafeteria doesn’t open until 6:15am, which sucks cause my blood sugar is low and I really don’t want to be the husband that passes out [...]

Coming along

5-6cm dialated (after a quick check from a mid-wife), 100% effaced, 0 station.
Its real and we’re going to meet Abi/Abe today!
If you have any happy thoughts you want to send to Nicole, please use the comments. I save them up for when she needs some extra love and then read a bunch to her, so [...]

Made it to the hospital

Got Ben to Brooke’s in less than half an hour, terrified he’d be a screaming monster and wake their little girl up, but she worked miracles and got him back to sleep. We can’t express how grateful we are to Brooke and Jason for taking him.
I drove 80 mile an hour all the way to [...]

We Think Its Time…

With all this false labor (for the last 3 weeks) its hard to know if this is real or not. But Nic thinks it is. Contractions 5-7 minutes apart and coming on strong for the last hour. Sorry about the ridiculous time of night, but we’re heading in to the hospital. Here’s hoping this is [...]

The ladies, they like to keep you waiting…

Here, let us entertain you with pictures of our first born, while #2 continues to hold our lives, and maybe soon our sanity, hostage…

Where’s Abi?

Today is Abi’s due date (40 weeks pregnant baby!)
So I had my weekly doctor’s appointment. I was interested to see if I had dilated any more from last week, which was just over 1cm, and I figured I would maybe be 1.5cm to 2cm. But to my surprise when he checked me (which by [...]

Nothing to see here. Move along.

As our friend Dave pointed out, we’re now sure that we’re having a girl — because she’s making everyone wait.
The official due date isn’t until Thursday… which really means that it could be another 2 weeks before she arrives (after 2 weeks past the due date, they’ll induce labor.) Nicole’s been having pretty regular bouts [...]
