The launch sequence has begun!

Bonnie started having contractions at 3 am this morning!  We had a doctor appointment already scheduled for 8:45 am, but by the time we left the house, the contractions were already 5 minutes apart and lasting almost 1 minute.  So we just went straight to the hospital.  When Bonnie got checked out, she was already 100% effaced and nearly 4cm dilated. It’s almost noon now, and she’s got an IV, antibiotic, and epidural in place.  The last exam revealed she’s almost 8cm dilated now so we’re well on our way!  We need to try to wait until 2pm though, so the antibiotic has a chance to get into the baby’s system.

Anyway, as you may have figured out, I found free wireless here so I’m blogging while Bonnie tries to get some sleep… while in labor!  (That epidural is some good stuff!)  Maybe I’ll even be able to get a picture up before the night is through.  Stay tuned!
