Today's the Day! (We Think)

We think that today's the day that our new son is going to make his entrance into the world. After being on bed rest for 9 1/2 weeks, Lisa's uterus has had enough. She started feeling very intermittent cramping the last few days, and after her normal OB visit on Thursday and a Friday night phone call, we decided to go to the hospital last night to get her checked out. Turns out that she's 4cm dilated, so they transferred her to Beth Israel.

Lisa got an epidural around 2am last night, and that stopped almost all of the contractions that she was having. When they checked her this morning, she was 6cm dilated, and now it's up to 7cm. Lisa is resting, and things seem to be moving along well. I expect the baby will be born in a few hours.
