A Rough Night

Well, Mom and Dad didn't get very much sleep last night. (No, Bob hasn't come yet.) Mom and Dad went to bed around midnight, and Mom started having contractions at 12:15am. They continued for about four or five hours, getting closer together. Dad got up and filled the "tub" (the little "pool" for the waterbirth). (To see pictures of the "tub," click here.) Around 5am, the contractions started slowing down and now (10:08am) they've pretty much stopped.

Lauren's about to go out and get some sassafras tea for Mom, which is supposed to speed up the labor process. Hopefully Bob will come today!

We'll keep you posted, so keep checking for updates!
