Welcome to the world Caleb Jude!

I'll start with just a quick timeline of the events (and I say quick because that's how it all happened!):

3 am - Corbin and Kyle head to the hospital, eyes still burning from the lack of sleep and each of us having a moment where we wanted to turn around and go back home...postponing the inevitable of course!

4:30 am - Pitocin on board, we begin the waiting game...oh did I mention that I was already 4
cm dialated when we got to the hospital?  Not sure how that happened, but it was 2 less cm I
had to worry about!

5 am - 6:30 am - Contractions....getting...stronger....must....start...epidural....

7 am - At 5 cm and epidural in place... life is good again and my husband thanks
the anesthesiologist for saving him from any more verbal abuse from 
his wife (hey, I had to have someone to blame for the pain and he seemed most appropriate!)

8 am - Nurse checks me and I'm at an 8...did I mention that the family has left the room to grab some breakfast? Husband should have thanked the anesthesiologist again (would have had some
choice words for eating when I was STARVING but didn't because I was in no pain at all!) Nurse tells me that if I feel nauseous to let her know.... cue nauseousness as soon as she walks out of the
room and I am alone!

8:05 am - Family and nurse walk back in and I tell her to put a check by the nauseousness box, so she checks me again....her face gets a look of panic and her exact words are: "Don't sneeze, don't cough,
don't even move...I'm gonna go call the doctor cause his head is 
ready to come out!"

8:20 am - Dr arrives and the fun begins

8:32 am - Happy birthday Caleb Jude King!
