Just got here...

So we just got to the hospital and things are already warming up... not outside ofcourse because it's 30's out there. But in here we're teaming with activity. The little Mrs. is all dolled up in a hospital gown and is currently looking fairly uncomfortable as they prep her for an IV............... OK my hands just went kind of numb watching that needle go in. Seriously how do these nurses do it? A better question is: How can I butcher a deer and yet this gives me the willies? Who knows.

So the parents and everyone will be here soon. For now we're just hanging around while they do tests and get the wifey all ready to roll. We're excited beyond words but also very anxious. I feel bad for Alison that she has to bear so much of the load here... be thinking about her folks, I think she's more nervous than she's letting on.

Fun birthing fact: If you close your eyes, you feel like you're on a train. A fetus heartbeat sounds just like a locomotive chugging along.
