Will here everybody ....
This is my first blog entry and I'm being watched like a hawk by the true owner of the VB Alexander Baby Blogs. Much like the Chinese, I"ll be censored during this post.
Shirley is laboring quite well at this time. She's 80% effaced and is 4-5 cm dilated (who can tell the difference between 1 cm?). She's on the Oxytocin and we're waiting for the anestheisologiest to administer the epidural.
They broke her water about 45 minutes ago and the contrtactions are now as low as 6 minutes apart.
Our nurse and doctor are both really nice and think we'll be out of here before their shifts end at 7 and 8 respectively. We're both extremely hopeful they're right.
Sophia is at the aquarium with Laura, our Auntie For Hire. It's Toddler Tuesday over there so we're pretty sure she'll have a great time. Hopefully she'll be well-rested for her visit to see Mom and Sissy later today or tomorrow.
I'm sitting around like a typical third wheel and have been tasked with such important things like picking out which movie to watdh and getting gum. Both of those are well within my skill-sets so as long as things don't get much tougher for me I'll be all right. (Surely everyone is most concerned with my status right now ...)
