Here we go....

Erin started to have contractions last night about 1:30 but didn't wake me up until I got up for school. She was having them about 5 min. apart but with little pain....so we waited until after 8 to actually call the doctor. We came down to Decatur to his office and by 9:20 he said we were ready to go. She was dilated to 3 cm at that point and he sent us on over to the Women's center. Before we even left the office her water broke and the race began. We got over here only to find out that there are no rooms available which means no epidural for now. We are in a little cramped room that is some sort of holding room...and it gets crowded fast. Erin just got her IV and is doing so good. She is having contractions about every 2-3 min and is almost dilated to 4 now....so the epidural can come soon. Keep praying that we get in a room quickly so that we can get this show on the road. Who knows...it could be hours from now....but given that Erin didn't sleep but for an hour last night....let's hope it happens a little sooner rather than later....but not before the epidural and not before we get into a delivery room. Keep you posted as things happen.

By the way...I'm not going to be able to post any pictures until we get into a space with more room so I can connect all the wires for the camera, etc. to bring the pics over to the computer.
I'll post them when I can.
