It has started...

I am writting this from the hospital on my Blackberry - forgive my misspelling and rambling.Not much editing at this point.

I woke up this morning around 4:30am when Janice rolled over and groaned. Contractions had apparently been going on through out the night. (G-d was gracious and let me sleep.) She had a dream where we made it to Northside hospital and she was working through contractions. As can be done in dreams she discered that she was having contractions for all the other women that had been given epidural's. As each new patient was given an epidural Janice's contractions would increase. Some sort of punishment for going natural. She asked that the hospital stop admitting patients then she woke up with a contraction.

Janice has had all of our children naturally - she is amazing. All of our nurses, midwives, and docters have been impressed. After a severe contraction she would turn to the nurse as if it were only a passing thought and ask about their lives, children or simply how they are doing.

We came in with contractions 3 minutes apart and now (8:00) they are roughly 5 minutes. It always slows down upon arrival as if the baby is aware that the comfortable life is almost over. Now we walk and wait.

Looks like we are going to have a 7/7/7 baby!

Nurse is here. More to come later...
