Who has two thumbs and has a wife that went into labor on her own this morning?

This guy!

DW is having contractions, was dilated when we got to the hospital. Her OB broke her water. Waiting on lab results prior to getting her epidural. What a morning!

No free WiFi in the hospital?


DS doesn't put people to sleep. laugh out loud

Yes, there is free WiFi. Using my phone for SD and to keep parents updated. Will have something else to do in an hour or so. Wife is at 8.

Quote from DC :
Hang in there DS! wave

Happy thoughts and Pray for your wife and soon to be born child! hug

Thanks DC!

Waiting for the kid is exhausting. Next time C-section.

The epidural has helped decrease the need for that.

I'd give it at least another hour or two. Don't want to rushed it too much. That would really mess up the downstairs...

When DD was born, OB spent about 30 minutes putting DW back together.

Almost there. @ ~ 9cm. She's feeling pressure, although she has the epidural shakes. Again expecting her by dinner time. Asked the wife what sounded good to eat. Her response was colorful..."can't think of food right now"

Have you eaten anything yet? I know she can't. I didn't eat when the bride was in the hospital having a baby one of the dozens of times, and it was a mistake. Make sure you keep your strength up.

Good luck! I'm sure you'll let us know when you hold her.
