A Baby Story, Part II
Here's a timeline of what's going on with Baby #2's big day. For those following along at home, I'll try to keep this up-to-date:
08:30am Arrived at the hospital
09:00am Started some medication to get contractions going
09:30am Relaxing, waiting for the medication to kick in
10:45am Still waiting...
11:00am Water broke! Still no contractions
11:45am Walking around
01:00pm All quiet
01:20pm Exam. 3.5cm dilated, for those in the know
02:30pm Contractions every 3 min. Manageable
04:30pm Epidural
06:00pm Exam. Only 4cm dilated, Dr. says time for pitocin
08:00pm Upped the pitocin. Contractions still coming, but sporadically.
08:15pm 5cm
09:00pm Amy's sleeping, Kevin is playing video games (thanks, Scott!)
10:15pm 9cm. May start pushing soon
10:40pm Baby!
Hanging on your every word:) Give Amy my best.

Good luck to you and the family, Kevin.
I leave SFO in a few minutes and will check in arriving at IAD.
Posted by: Grand Papa John at May 6, 2010 12:06 PMMy procrastinating at work seems so much more meaningful today. Can't wait to meet my little niece. Although I'm still secretly hoping for a baby tiger.
Posted by: Kate at May 6, 2010 12:56 PMWe're so excited for you! I'm supposed to be writing a final paper, but instead I'm glued to Kevin's website and my cell phone! Will update the girls as soon as they get back from school.
It would be a lovely day to have a baby...!
My prayers and best wishes to you both as you await the arrival of your new daughter.
Love,
Mom
Hang in there Cooneys. Thinking of you here in 'Sconsin.

Posted by: Casey at May 6, 2010 07:33 PMDarn, your uterus must be more fun than Disneyland and that little one is saying, "one more ride, pleeeeeease!"
Hang in there, Ames.

Posted by: Benjamin Trent at May 6, 2010 08:30 PMI'm glad I helped during the labor, even if it was only for the video games :)
