Well, we're here! We got here at 5:40 and got admitted to our room at 7:00. So far everything is going well. We have a very nice nurse, Ashlie who will be with us through the night. She got Tami all hooked up and started her pitocin at around 8:00. Dr. Bartfield came in and broke Tami's water at 8:25. At 9:30 Tami started to feel some mild contractions. When the pain gets to a 5 on a scale of 1 - 10 she'll be calling for anesthesia - STAT! Mary has been moving around a lot. She is ready to come out!

My dad got here first at around 7:30 followed by Carol and Ames who are having a late dinner in the cafeteria. Alix is scheduled to come in later if things start to progress.

Here are a couple of pictures from the hospital. More to come!

Good time to start

I've been wanting to start a family blog for a while now and the time has arrived! As some of you know we are expecting our third daughter very soon. Tami, being the planner she is, elected to be induced today so we would have kid coverage and some time to get settled in with the new baby. Well, this morning we got a call saying that the hospital is full and we have been placed "on call". The person on the phone said that we could expect to be admitted at some point this afternoon. I will be posting pictures of the baby as soon as possible so check back!
