Update:)

11:46am

Devon is doing AWESOME.

She's finally decided to get an epidural. It was a really hard decision for her, but in the end, it's probably for the better.

Devon's now 100% effaced and 7 or 8 cm dilated.
Miss Lily's head is down low- ready and waiting.

I'm in the waiting room, waiting for Claudia to get some food and for Bob to give us the OK that we're allowed back in.


The doctor thinks she'll be pushing in about an hour, and hopefully will have 2 hours or less of pushing.

Keep sending love and good thoughts!!! :)

10:30 update

Our beautiful mommy to be is doing well! She's in a lot of pain but is steadily breathing through it all.

The contractions are getting stronger and the nurse said she's coming down nicely.

Devon offered to let us stick our hands up and feel Lilys head and then quickly took back her offer.

:)

No epidural as of now...she's still not very sure she even wants one.

Go Devon Go!

9:43am

Dr. just came in and man is he funny!

Miss Lily is doing well.

Updates:
6cm dilated
90% effaced
+1 station

The nurse said Lily is happy, the cord is happy, the placenta is happy.

Devon's in pain, but is concentrating on breathing really nicely, and then finishes up with a joke when she can function again:)

Apparently, every time a baby is born, they play Brahms Lullabye over the PA system.

HOW CUTE IS THAT?



Excited daddy to be!



Mommy smiling between contractions.

The nurse is proud

9:33am


The nurse keeps commenting how well Devon is doing.

She's in a lot of pain, but they gave her some more medication.

I can't update with photos at this point because the internet connection is so slow.

Bob's resting again, Devon's breathing.

The DR should be in any minute to check on her progress.

Come on LILY!!!!

Update

Aunt Caitlin here at 8am!

Claudia has arrived. I have been camping in the waiting room while Claudia visits Devon and it looks like she's going to get cleared to be in the room too!

They just broke her water, gave her pitocin (sp), and she is dilated to 4-5 cm.

Bob's on the phone with Dad and Aunt Sylvia.

Devon's feeling OK!

Hello my FRIENDS!

Aunt Caitlin reporting for duty. Devon is resting with her ice chips, a bit high on nubane. At last check (1/2 hour ago or so) she was 3 cm, 80% effaced. The head is DOWN!

Bob is...sleeping:)

Happy Due Date!

Well, it's here! Happy due date (oh yeah, and birthday!) to me!! We're still waiting on the princess's arrival!! :) Keep checking back here for updates- we'll do our best to post from the hospital!
