At the hospital

Hello everyone, here is the update from Overlake (from Poppa's point of view)

Here is the pic from this morning with Evan:



5:45am Called into Overlake and were told to come in at 7:15 AM
6:50am Left the house and gave last hugs to Evan
7:20am Checked into Childbirth Center (Is she really pregnant?)



8:05am Hooked up to Potocin (sp?)
9:15am Dr. Haines manually broke "the water" (lovely)
10:00am Checking up on the contractions and more blood pressure tests
10:55am Still checking on contractions and blood pressure. Dr. Shiah has been notified for the epidural...woohoo!
12:16pm Contractions are getting painful and trying to hunt down the epidural doc now, blood pressure is good, and lil' babe is doing great!
1:05pm Epidural is in place...really fast, but then again I was not the one with the 5 inch needle going into my back. lil' babe is still doing well.



3:50pm No updates yet...still having contractions and just waiting to dilate more.
5:15pm 8 cm dilated...only 2 more to go...home stretch, I hope!
6:00pm First pushes...here we go!
6:50pm SHE'S HERE!
