At the Hospital!
5:28
Sarah and I are in our room in Durham Regional Hospital. It’s actually quite spacious and nice, lots of nice touches and wood accents. Soothing by design to be sure, except for the woman who was rather vocally giving birth a few rooms away. Rather disconcerting but luckily we arrived at the very end and I got to hear a baby’s little cry shortly afterward.
It’s a nice stormy day for Sarah’s birthday and the approaching birth of our cuddly baby boy. We’re finally down to the wire and parenthood is right around the corner! I’m wound up and running on a sleepless night and nothing but excited.

We just had a visit from the nurse who got all the monitors setup. Now we can hear baby’s heartbeat which is hovering around between 125 and 142 and watch the pretty graphs go by. His heartrate shoots up to the 160s and 170s when he wiggles around, so cute! Everything with Sarah and the baby looks right on target. A doctor is supposed to check in with us soon.

Send AJ to the house to get the package if you all did not. She needs it NOW…or she can pass it on to Jenn : )

I feel even more avuncular than I did earlier today. Go, baby, go!
