Emma Has Decided She Is Done with Her Bag of Waters

Well, Kristen decided to wake me up from a sound sleep in the middle of the night for only the second time in our waiting for Emma to come, and this time she needed a bit more attention than the first time.

Her water broke at roughly 3am this very morning.  Which has started a lengthy and rather leisurely process which has lead us to right now. where we are camped out in our room here at the hospital trying to ignore the discomfort, nerves and excitement and get some more sleep (I being the genius that I am stayed up playing video games last night instead of cleaning the kitchen leaving me tired and the kitchen dirty). 

The news is that all is well with emma and kristen and now we are in a waiting game for the contractions to catch up with the little girl and her readiness to get going.  They tell us they won’t let us go home until Emma makes her appearance (which is awesome) and that looking at the way things are now we’re going to be here for a long time (which is less than awesome).

Unless your name is mom, we probably won’t talk to you on our phones, but stay tuned here and we’ll update the blog every few hours with goodies and progress reports.  And feel free to text if you like.  We’d love any encouragement by text you have to offer but we probably won’t respond.  Not because we don’t love you but because we’re distracted.

Woohoo!  The adventure marathon begins.  Now if only we liked marathons...
