Hey everyone for all of those who know my wife was pregnant,  it's finally time... we started having decent contractions at around 10pm 4/1/2014 and we decided that we were going to try and make the most of them.  Her due date is on 4/3/2014 so we were mighty close to the finish line anyways. We walked around the house until they went from 10 minutes apart then to 7 minutes apart... kept at it until about 12:30 am when they were 5 minutes apart.  We drove to the hospital and we're under evaluation for 4.5 hrs until they finally decided to admit her.  So by the time the doctors were all done hooking her up to everything it was about 8 am so we were exhausted to say the least. We got to sleep about a hour before the contractions started increasing to the point she couldn't stand them so we had to rush through more paper work and get the epidural going.  So she has been on that continuously since that point.  They started giving her the oxytocin to speed up the labor a bit but it began to slow our baby's (Hayden) heart beat too much so they had to stop it. They then decided to break her water manually to see if that would help speed it up since the oxytocin was not a option. We are still waiting for him to make his appearance and they say it will be atleast 4 more hours. Gahhh it's been such a long day. So stressful and it's been hard on me not having my family here with me due to complicated circumstances. She's been on oxygen and antibiotics for a while now and although I'm assured everything is normal I still cannot help but break down every hour or so.  I am not a spiritual person but if I could ask you to keep our family in your thoughts i feel like it will help in some unexplainable way. I thank you all for being great friends all this time and hope you are all having fun tonight.  It was a bad time to forget my laptop... ; ) love you all.

C-section is basically routine these days. Don't stress (Even though I know you well) Good luck man!

You have been in my thoughts since you told me you where heading to the hospital.  There has not been a waking hour you have not come into my thoughts, and I have waited for the News.  Keep in mind love that C-sections have come sooo far (had a C-section with each of my children).  It is a very stressful time when you are watching a loved one.  Just remembered you are in our thoughts as well as your wife and your soon to be baby. =)
