And I'm not even the one hooked up to drugs that turn your abdomen into an angry, soulless monster. Monica's been heroic today since 8am, and after 12 hours we're still going.
So as not to go into too much detail, we'll call us 70% there.
Status:
Monica - Induced, epidural-ed, re-epidural-ed, pinched, poked, I owe her a Coke. Not doing this again any time soon.
Abbey - Squished, squeezed, and probably looking forward to getting a little more headroom
Parents - Proud and respectfully impatient, with knowing smiles that portray anxious excitement. The waiting room hums with quiet energy. A first grandchild is moments away.
Me - Busy and dutiful, and am I really going to be a father?
More info as it comes.
