Ok for real, this is happening!

It's just about 7am and I just now got to the hospital. No baby yet, but he is certainly on his way. Here's the rundown of what happened while I was at home sleeping.

Kristen had an appointment with Dr Simmons yesterday at around 5. She was still only fingertip dilated, but he assured her one way or another, they were not leaving without a baby this time. She left the Dr's office and went to eat at La Madeline where she had a Chicken Cesar Salad and Strawberries Romanov. Once she was able to get into a room at the hospital, they checked her and she was already at a "3". They decided to forgo the Cervidil and just give her Petosin.

In the night, her water broke on it's own and at around 4am they gave her an epidural. They checked her around 5am and she was already dilated to a "5". She has been having regular contractions, and she thinks she probably further dilated by now. So now she's just resting, eating ice chips and watching Saved By the Bell.

They also have finally decided on the Kingsley's full name. He will now and forever been known as Kingsley Elvis Bishop.

8:25 am UPDATE

Nurse Gracie just checked her and she's at a "9". She's feeling a lot of pressure and I think pushing will probably start soon. She's having constant contractions and is pretty uncomfortable. Poor girl is just ready to get this baby out.
