Contractions started to get pretty strong. Bobbie Jo got her epidural at 4:45 and now everything is much better.

We expect to be waiting for quite a few hours, but it looks like we'll just let this little girl come the rest of the way out on her own.

Broken water

They just broke Bobbie Jo's water. Like the last time it was extremely painful.

The contractions are getting pretty strong, hopefully the epidural will be here soon.

Waiting......

After almost a week of high blood pressure, the decision was made to induce labor today.

We are currently waiting in Triage, and will be moved to Delivery in the next few hours.

We'll keep you posted.

Tidbits about Max

I've been slacking, and haven't posted in quite awhile. In an attempt to get something on here, I thought I'd put together a list of things about Max.

• Max refers to today as "this day" and tomorrow as "the day after this day". "Mommy, am I going to go to school this day, or the day after this day".
• Max is excellent at putting together puzzles. He absolutely loves them, and can finish all of his puzzles (25 pieces or so) all by himself.
• He isn't really attached to any of his stuffed animals but sleeps with someone (a car, stuffed animal, or toy) every nap and at night.
• For about 15 minutes I convinced him he was born with a tail. He told me that "people don't have tails". I agreed and told him that's why we had it removed. He ultimately determined that daddy was "pulling his leg".
• He's scared of flowers.
• He seems to be obsessed with "bad guys", and has arbitrary rules determining which of his toys are "bad guys" (and what jail they belong in).
• He likes playing Angry Birds on his iPad.
• He loves people, and will immediately start chatting with anyone who he thinks will pay attention.
• His best friends at school are Nathan, Carter, and "Max F".

36 vs 1

Two weeks before Max was born, there had been 36 posts made to this blog.
Two weeks before his little sister is due, and we've mentioned her once.

I promise sweetheart, we'll love you just as much. Daddy has just gotten lazy in his old age.
