Nothing to write home about

No baby yet. Christina received an epidural about an hour and half ago. She is now resting letting the contractions do there job. I am waiting impatiently in the "dad" chair. We can not find anything on tv so its been the gameshow network for the last 3 hours. The nurse expects the doctor to come by between 5:30 and 6:00 and check the progress. Hopefully (fingers crossed) we will be getting close to pushing. That's all for now. Check back later for more information!!!!

3:00 update

Well, the doctor just came in and checked Christina. She is 4 cm dilated and progressing along. The doctor broke her water and everything went well with that. The baby has looked great on the monitor all day long and they do not have any worries about him. Christina has decided to take an epidural to ease the pain and hopefully make things a little less stressful on her. She decided that since Lucas will be coming up here later that she would like to have some energy when he gets here. That's it for now, I will keep everyone up to date as things move along.

Here's to a save labor and delivery.

Contractions

Things have started to pick up with the contractions. They are starting to come every 3-4 minutes with some pretty good strength now. We are waiting on the doctor to come in and check how dilated Christina is and possibly break her water. We hope to know more with in the hour. Keep your fingers crossed that things go quickly and smoothly!!

Hangin out and Taking meds

We are just sitting here watching the today show. Christina and my mother's are here along with Christina's sister. She is on the meds and the nurse is upping it up 30-45 minutes. There has been no real progression as of right now so we are just hanging out. We will keep you up to date on how things are going,but right now its just hurry up and wait!!!

Getting started

We came up the the hospital last night for Christina to get induced. Yesterday they used a foley catheter to help her cervix dilate. This morning they have let her eat some breakfast and have started her on Potocin to help get the contractions started. Right now she is 3 cm dilated and in good spirits. We will see how that changes as the day progresses.

Room Swap

Lucas has a new big boy room. We moved him from the bedroom that he was in to what was the spare room. I spend all of last weekend cleaning out all of the things that we had stuffed in there and setting up his new bunk beds. I also had to paint the room. It was yellow and Christina informed me that boys dont have yellow rooms. It looks really good and he will have more room to play. His room will be turned back into the nursery for Mitchel.

All is still going well on that front. Christina is doing as well as can be expected. She is already fellin as big as a house and is getting tired more easily. I am just hoping that all goes well and the last 15 weeks are uneventful and stree free.
