Too late to be so early
I have been in the habit of getting to bed early so I can get to work by 6AM, so 12:37AM is a little rough for me.
After 18 hours of natural and induced labor, I know that my wife is one tough broad. I could not be more proud. Unfortunately we still have a long way to go before Claire arrives. I know most of our world is asleep right now but to anyone who sees this in the next few hours: we covet your prayers.
Apparently I’m faced with a stubborn child to match my stubborn wife. We’re stuck, not much farther along than when we arrived, with Aubrey having endured the maximum amount of contraction-inducing agent. We are facing a much unwanted Caesarian section and are hoping nature takes its course – we just want our munchkin!
