slept at the hospital. He called the nurses at 5am and told them that
he was ready to go. As I type Jen is getting hooked up by the nurse
with an IV and various monitors. In a few minutes Dr. Banks will break
her water and labor will begin.
Last night was a somewhat long one. Jen didn't sleep much. I probably
slept three or four hours. Jen was hooked to a fetal heartbeat
monitor all night that was hooked to a loudspeaker in the room. As we
slept the baby's heart beat at 150 bpm or so and was very audible. At
one point in the night we were both awakened by a strange recurrent
sound which as it turns out were magnified hiccups.
I've been doing all my blogging from my iPhone which means that both
jen and I are able to monitor the blog regularly. We have been
enjoying everyones comments and usually read them shortly after they
are posted.
More updates to come.

3-4 hours of sleep Nate? that is pretty darn good. Consider that a good night's sleep for the next couple of weeks. :) This pretty much sounds exactly like our delivery. Sounds like it is going very smooth and that you are both calm. Why don't you have a place where people can guess what time the baby will be born and how much he will weigh. I will start by saying
1:05 pm and 7 lbs 12oz.
That's awesome- congratulations. Seems like everyone I know uses Banks or one of his partners. I think it was Alex that Banks actually delivered via C-Section. Anyway, welcome to fatherhood!!
