Well, I totally lied on that last update, but the baby’s finally here and both her and mom are doing fine!
9:48 am
Doctor’s in the room now full-time and Nina’s pushing. Shouldn’t be long now.
9:48 am
Another doctor check. 9cm, but water still not broken. She’s being a trooper.
9:24 am
They just set up the delivery cart with a bunch of scary looking stainless steel implements. Hope this means Kumquat is coming soon.
8:55 am
Just met the doctor and Nina got examined. 8cm. Progress is really good, says the delivery team.
8:37 am
Same deal. Looks hurty.
7:33 am
Shift change. We have a new set of nurses/doctors, and everyone seems very friendly and accommodating. On the downside, this could potentially take another 13 hours, and her pain is getting pretty intense. Contractions every 2-3 minutes, lasting for about 30 seconds to a minute.
6:30 am
Doctor came by, and Nina’s at 5cm; so we’ve been admitted to the birthing suite, where it’s nice and luxurious. There’s a great view of the city with a gorgeous sunrise. Sadly, having a baby hurts, so she’s not really spending much time looking out the window.
5:30 am
So this is Jes. She’s hooked up to the monitors in a triage room, waiting for the doctor to examine her. Contractions about 5 min apart.
I’ve got nothing else to do here, so I’ll try to give some periodic updates.
4:03 am
I’ve been up since 3 am and it hurts. Called the hospital and it’s for real. It’s Kumquat Time, everyone!!!
