The anesthesiologist just left the hospital room. The epidural is in and Lisa didn't even wince. My wife has the courage and pain tolerance of a comic book super hero.
Lisa and I have been here since about 1:15am. Little Jocelyn didn't like being told what to do, so she has decided to come on her own, without help of induction. We have a defiant, strong-minded little girl.
At around 10pm, contractions started to get pretty intense and regular enough that we began timing them. At 12:30am, we left for the hospital. So, here I lay on the small couch in the delivery room, trying to get some sleep. At this point, Lisa is dialated to 6cm and 70% effaced. We could be holding our little girl within the next 8 hours. I am going to sign off for now and try to get some shuteye so that I can be the best coach and husband that my brave wife needs. Next stop: Parenthood.
