So, Launi's water broke around 1:30, and once she woke me up at 2:30 to time the contractions, we were at the hospital within about half an hour. She was dilated to 5 cm then; two or three hours later, she was at 7 cm. After a few hours (and a good dose of oxytocin), our little Alexander cried for the first time. It wasn't nearly so gross as I thought it would be, and I even cut the cord! (But I didn't watch the IV or the epidural go in. Let's not get crazy.)
As you can probably guess, it's been a long day. We're thinking of just feeding Alex and letting him play in the nursery for a while. We're both exhausted.
Pictures coming soon!
