Post from the hospital- Prebirth

so this is Lance, and I am sitting here in Em's pre-birth hospital room, or rather it is the room that she is going to be giving birth in but it just hasn't happened yet. Anyways we were a little nervous about today as we had the induction scheduled on Monday and we got a heads up from Em's doctor that because of the volume of patients that the hospital was seeing yesterday, we might be bumped...and we were totally bummed. Her doc said that the hospital would let us know at 6:00 am today if we were bumped or not...and at 6:00 am we got a call that we were being bumped back...to...8:00 am! which in my opinion was even better, cause we all know how morningtime and I do not agree. So I turned over and slept for another hour this morning while Emali got up and did stuff cause apparently she can't sleep anymore. So at 7 we (Gracie and I) got up and got ready and went on with the plan.
At 8:00 we walked into the hospital and were shown right to our massive birthing suite (sweet!) and got all hooked up to monitors and put in LOST. Em's doc came in after an hour and broke her water, and BAM contractions have been going ever since. Em is also having Pitocin, and an epidural that actually is working ( which I got to watch be put in and it is amazing, and kind of scary and fascinating now that I know what is actually happening in her back, plus the anesthesiologist was treating me as a colleague which is fun/funny for me). Anyways, now Em is in la-la land listening to Jane Monheit, and it should be a couple of hours until the baby comes. We still like the name Kamyrn but we will see what she looks like to make a final call.
On another note, I would just like to say how grateful I am for my wonderful wife. She is such a good person, and although I tease her so much that most of the time that she is mad at me, she is still a sweetheart and I love her so much. She goes through so much ( is going through so much at this particular moment) for this family and is truly
the rock of my life.
ok Em just told me that she feels like her leg feels like a log or a big piece of meat! too funny! alrighty then more later
