It's Baby Time!

Danielle has now completely dilated. She did three practice pushes and she was deemed ready to go. As soon as the doctor gets here, we'll be having a baby. Next post will have some photos. It may be a bit before I can get to it though.

Update #3

The doctor was just in again and Danielle is almost fully dilated now. They checked her no more than 15 minutes ago and she was at 6cm. That sure was quick. So now we're just waiting for that last little bit and it will be baby time. More as soon as she's ready to push.

Update #2

The doctor was just in to check Danielle and she still hadn't progressed any further. He says he'll probably give her another 1-2 hours to progress or else it's C-section time. I hope things get going. I don't really want to see my wife's insides. More in an hour or two.

Update #1

Danielle got her epidural about an hour ago now. So she's resting much more comfortably. She's dilated to almost 5cm. Not much more to say right now. I'll update again in a couple hours.

He's on his way....

Danielle's water broke this morning around 5am. It was more like a slow leak, so we weren't really sure what was going on at first. She went to the doctor around Noon and he sent her to Labor and Delivery. She's not progressing too well at this point, but she's having really good contractions, so it's only a matter of time. Anyway, we're at the hospital and Mia is at my parents'. We'll keep everyone updated as things change. But Owen should be here sometime today!
