Baby Girl Reed Live Blog

0320 - I awoke a father of one.

0540 - Completed a sweet, pumptastic shoulder workout, brah.

1150 - Andrea calls me at work says "GET HERE NOW, WE GOTTA GO TO THE HOSPITAL". I race home setting the cruise on 83 mph.

1230 - I walk in.  She's cleaning the floors.  I said, "let's go!".  She responds by "I gotta do my hair."  Seriously?

1240 - Sat on the couch and started the Baby Girl Reed Live Blog while birthing mother does hair.

1250 - Hairs done.  Thank goodness.  

Beauty is imperative for the birth process.

1323 - we have arrived at the hospital.

1335 - my bed for the night.  Having babies is so painful for the father.

1346 - Father's view.  Stay tuned for the doctor's view ;)

I know what you're thinking.  Man, that hairs gorgeous, right?

1410 - Successful protein run.  

Fact: you get a lot of awkward looks when u wear scrubs and walk around in a small hosptital u don't work in. 

1450 - IV started.  MTV's Ridiculousness on.  Trying to laugh ourselves into labor. awaiting pitosin.

1510 - Pitosin started.  I cracked a joke to the nurse, "after that's started it only takes 5 minutes, right?"

...I was the only one who laughed...

1550 - Andrea just asked me to dim the lights.  Normally I would get excited after that question but considering our situation I'm not getting my hopes up.

1630 - Jeopardys on.  See ya in 30 min.

1710 - The flood gates have opened!  (It sounded like it too)

...the water broke if you haven't figured that out by now.

1755 - Some collaborative thinking between Dad and Grandpa Reed, maybe a lapdance will get this thing going.

1850 - Contractions more intense.  Epidural started.  Hair still looks amazing.
