I forget how odd this time is. Not boring, but open and uncertain, just waiting. Waiting. She's at 8cm now. We watched a Baby Story and now Dr.Phil's on.

Eight o'clock Update

Epidural's in, on the third attempt. Cheryl's looking much more relaxed now, though she's still hankerin' for a hamburger. Maybe he'll be here by lunch and she'll get her wish.

Also, he pooped already.

So Much for the Induction

Well, here we go again. Woke up around 3:15 with some contractions that were stronger than all the fake ones from the past few days. Getting to the hospital was an almost absurdly calm affair. Our life would make a lousy sit-com.

Cheryl's been vampired and is getting an i.v. now. The contractions are still about 5 minutes apart, but they're getting more and more painful. 

I suppose Erin and Noah will be waking Grandma C up any time now.

We'll keep the updates coming, of course.
