Update from the front...

A rare post from MurkyDad...

MurkyMom and Murky are doing fine so far. As of 1PM-ish the assessment was 4 cm dilation and 90% effaced, with Murky at -1 station. At this point they went ahead and ruptured the amniotic sac.

MurkyMom had an epidural at around 2 PM and is resting comfortably now in anticipation of the big push. Contractions are nice and regular at about 2.5-3 minutes apart.

MurkyMom is hoping for a pre-dinner delivery, as she is hungry, but I have my doubts. I will be happy if he shows up before midnight tonight. If he does, GrandmaMurky on MurkyDad's side wins the pool.

Further updates as they happen...

Go, MurkyMom! I'm cheering for you: "Push him out, push him out, WAAAAAAY OUT!" You can do it!
Sending more energy hugs your way!
Hang in there, MurkyDad!
AuntieH's Mom is guessing "by 7 p.m. with any luck." Did you bring your four leaf clover? ;-)
