1. Quick! Boil some water!

Isn't that always what they do in movies?

6. Yeah, she was actually in the computer lab at the school where she teaches

So, tech support is going to find themselves in a novel situation.

10. Yep, we're ready to roll.

Her OB told her to hang out here until she starts early labor. Should be about 8-16 hours. I'm actually supposed to go rent some movies, apparently.

22. Oh wow...

I thought water breaking meant get to the hospital.

Well hope you enjoy the movies, then. :)

8. Her father picked her up from work just a second ago. I'm not on deck

for another 45 minutes. We're all packed and ready to go, so all I need to do is load the cats up with food and we can hit it.

27. LOL! When my water broke with my son - in the middle of the night! -

I stopped to let my online friends know we were on our way to the hospital.

They'd talked me through some early contractions the night before in a chat room...it was the least I could do. ;)

16. Thanks! We pretty much know it won't be quick.

No woman in her family has ever had a labor under 16 hours.

What an exciting time. Congratulations!

It's been a baby boom at DU, lately. Yay, more libs!

ETA that was an excitement I never got to experience. I was induced at the hospital both times, and my water never broke before I got there. They always used one of those big plastic thingies that looks like a giant crochet hook to pop it. Fun times :)
