7:50 AM - Well, it's ten till 8 and things are well under way. Bec and I pulled ourselves out of bed at 4:00 this morning (ok, we actually finally dragged ourselves out of bed at more like 4:10). We made our way to the hospital along with Bec's folks and made it here at 5:40 or so. After a quick check-in we were up in our room and Bec was in the bed with an IV.

The nurse started the pitocin (which will bring on labor) at about 7:30. She said it would only take about 20 minutes for the contractions to start. Before the nurse could leave the room, the doctor came in and got everything ready to break Bec's water. This was not as simple a process as it sounded in the classes. It was actually pretty painful. But Bec came through with flying colors.

Bec's already had about 4 contractions, and we're well on our way! More to come later!
