Labor Has Begun - Alaster Is On His Way

The goal last night was to get Lisa to begin labor.  I made her walk forever, climb up and down stairs, eat spicy salsa, but to no avail…so we thought.  We headed off to bed at around 10.30 thinking it was all in vain.  But at around 4.30 AM all the work began to pay off.  Throughout the day the contractions kept getting closer together and more intense.

At 2.53 PM Lisa sent me a text message at work that said, "you better come home."  I came home and we loaded up and headed for the hospital.  Xander was here with us, but we forgot to take a picture before he went home with Auntie Kaity and Uncle Luke.

So Alaster's journey has begun; we pray that all goes well and that he and Lisa are healthy and safe.

All plugged in and ready to go; now it's just hurry up and wait!

Two very excited parents…he's finally on his way.

She's all IV'd up and getting the fluids.

Lisa is loving those contractions.  They are getting closer and closer, and stronger and stronger.
