8:30pm
Lisa and I got to the hospital @ 7 p.m. on Thursday April 9th, 2008
They took us to an exam room right away and then hooked Lisa up
to a bunch of wires to check Kaden and Mommy's heart rates.
By 8 p.m. the doctor told us Lisa was 5cm dilated and moved us to a birthing room.
That's when we started making the calls and texting to everyone.
It's 9:30pm
Mommy is a trooper and taking on the contractions like it is no bodies business.
Taking into consideration all of the previous mommies advice Lisa decided to
take the epidural around 9.
From here it has been smooth sailing... (so our friend Annette says!)
10:20pm
The nurse checked again at 10ish and Lisa
is pretty much fully dilated. It's Go Time!
11:00pm
The nurses have been running around setting up the room
to welcome baby Kaden. Doctor Orsini suggested we break
the Lisa's water to help the process along.
11:30pm
So the doctor took this (well I won't go into detail...) Let's
just say mommy's water is now broken and we wait...
It's now 11:54 p.m
...it doesn't look like
Kaden will be coming on the 9th.
Lisa is sleeping and building up energy for
the birth... She's had the shakes for the last hour, but
the nurse just put an oxygen mask on her and it seems
to have settled.
It is amazing watching Lisa through this process. She is so happy
and has not complained at all. As an expecting dad I wish I could do
more, but really I wouldn't want to be the one giving birth right now.
11:58 p.m.
Again we wait.
12:00 a.m.
No baby... !!!
12:05 a.m.
It seems like eternity!!!
12:15 a.m.
LISA Puked!
good thing she didn't eat a lot before we came...
12:20 a.m.
Doctors decide they should get started...
12:50 a.m.
Ahhh!!!! IT's Time!
.....We're gonna START this thing!
