We’re at the hospital. Yeah, I know… big surprise there. We arrived later than we had originally anticipated, as there were a limited number of labor and delivery rooms available and the women in them ahead of us hadn’t gone into labor and/or given birth. So, rather than getting here around 8 PM, we were told to wait until 10:30 PM.

We got to the hospital and checked in with no problems. Our nurses – Traci and Polly – have been fantastic. We’ve also had a chance to meet with the anesthesiologist and discuss our options. Our doctor came in this morning, around 8 AM and gave Sara a once-over to see how things were progressing.

At this point, Sara’s been given pitocin and her bag of waters has been broken… but her contractions haven’t been strong, so we’re still waiting. And, that’s where the title from this post came from. Around 9:00 AM, we realized that while we brought movies and books, we neglected to bring Trivial Pursuit. Or Scrabble. Or even Chutes and Ladders. Oh, well. Otherwise, there’s no other real news on the “arrival of babies” front.

We would like to thank everyone for their well-wishes. We would also like to note that we will NOT be taking visitors at the hospital. Once we and the kids are settled, we will be receiving visitors at home. Details of when we will start seeing visitors to follow. Thank you for your understanding and support.

Namaste.
