Getting Closer

Things are getting serious, Lindsay just threw up. I teetered on the brink of freaking out, but I'm holding steady for now. Turns out my wife is a lot, lot tougher than I am. Our doula, Laura, just got here thank heavens. Now when the contractions come and I turn into a deer in the headlights, there's someone here who actually knows what to do.

Just found out that Lindsay's at 4cm. I won't go into details of what that entails for those of you who don't care to know, but it's good news. Things are moving along quickly. For now, I'm just trying to stay out of the way and not screw things up. Laura is great and tells me what to do so I'm not totally worthless, lowering my score to about 95% worthlessness. I did, however, manage to trade out our squeaky rocking chair out for another one...which ended up being just as squeaky. Looks like I'm back to 99.99%.

    I love you guys! Awesome posts...I feel like I'm there with you both.

    Tell Lindsay to keep breathing, focus on something in the ceiling and it will eventually be over...I promise!

    Give her and Mini Mio a kiss for me!

    I'm so excited. If you accidentally write "joy" on the birth certificate instead of Joseph, I won't be upset.

    Praying! (for you guys...not the name change...well maybe a little.)
