Wes Is On His Way!!!

I'm not much of a blogger.  Obviously, neither is Erin...hence the huge gaps in between posts.  Since we've got internet here at the hospital, I thought I'd throw a few occasional photos up for your viewing pleasure.  I'm still trying to get Erin to let me webcast the whole blessed event, but so far no success.

Here's a shot of Erin in her lovely gown, and a view of the room.  She's hooked up to an IV, but that's about as exciting as it gets for now...






When we're not giving all our personal info to the nurse, we're killing time by watching the X-Files (you can probably guess whose idea that was).  More to come...

Well, after less than ONE HOUR of being hooked to the IV, Erin gets checked and is already at 5 centimeters and 80% effaced ...she certainly doesn't waste any time.  I just hope we can finish our episode of X-Files first!

Epidural is in place...Erin's feeling much better now.  She's having regular contractions...

Kinda chilly now, but Erin's lookin' good with the hospital blanket:

The Dr. said that the baby hadn't come down far enough, so Erin spent the last hour laying on her side (I guess this encourages the baby to want to move).  The nurse checked her again and now she's fully dilated!

...and we're done!  Well, Erin did most of the work.  Wesley Lundgreen was born at 1:12 pm.  7 lbs 4 oz.  19 1/2 inches.  And he shoots 75% from the free throw line.  Baby and mom are well!  We're so excited he's here.  He's definitely a keeper!  He's got those trademark dimples, too!
