One year ago today: labor

It is so hard to believe that a whole year has past since your birth!

Jeremy's twitter feed from those two long days...

Something is happening. We'll know more at noon... stay tuned. And in the meantime send slippery thoughts.

Things you don't see women in labor do in the movies: walk to FRED MEYER!!! Margaret's got it goin' ON!
10:47 AM May 6th, 2008

Headed to the hospital... but dropping off 27 Dresses that Margaret forgot she'd rented while I was out of town first.
12:06 PM May 6th, 2008

This birthing suite is THE BOMB! Margaret just ordered the mani/pedi and I'm waiting for my Southwest fajitas.

They just sent us on another power walk. Margaret's channeling her pioneer ancestors' birth experiences.
4:20 PM May 6th, 2008

They just brought Margaret a giant dinner so I think we're here for a while.
6:31 PM May 6th, 2008

Yep, we're in it for the night. I can't believe we've been here all day! Margaret's only to a 2 on the pain scale, though.
8:37 PM May 6th, 2008

Labor going v...e...r...y slowly. Epidural went in at 6am and we're still classified as early labor.
8:38 AM May 7th, 2008

On the bright side, Margaret has been sleeping soundly since 6. As have I--that epidural has a broad range!
8:39 AM May 7th, 2008

We're stuck here watching the contraction monitor... ugh, can we change the channel?

Baby's horoscope: You can break through an impasse with the help of a trusted partner and let the pieces fall where they may. Margaret thought that didn't sound too promising for her body!
10:41 AM May 7th, 2008

We just hit 6 cm and they're prepping the tools!!!
11:18 AM May 7th, 2008

7 cm and +1 position. If you don't know what that means, it means that that baby is going to the light.

Whew! We have a beautiful little girl our hands. 7 lbs. 13.5 oz. and 21-1/4" long.
