There's a baby coming!

Dave, Steve's brother, is mass-texting (Steve and I got the same texts, so we can only assume others are included in his mass-texting) that he and his wife Nancy are at the hospital!

The first message appeared on my phone at 9:26AM EDT, which makes it 6:26AM PDT their time. She was already 6cm dilated with 2-minute apart contractions.

The next text I received at 10:24 AM EDT, said that Nancy was at 8cm dilated (2 more centimeters in less than an hour later!) and possibly too late for an epidural.

The only other text I've received was at 11:42 AM EDT. Nancy received an epidural (WAHOO!!! Epidural FTW!!) and is doing well, though only 8cm dilated still and 2 minute contractions.

My thoughts are that now that Nancy isn't fighting the labor pains, she can relax (maybe even nap!), and therefore dilate faster, and little Axel William will make his happily anticipated appearance very soon!!

We love you, Nanc, and hope that everything goes smoothly and that you have an easy recovery!

Life - as you know it - is over!!! Instead, happier days are ahead! :-)
