Danielle started having contractions less than 10 minutes apart at 7:00PM on Jan 19 (we were at a formal dinner for her work). We arrived at the hospital at 8:00AM on Jan 20, but we were sent home because she was not yet far enough along (even though contractions were less than 5 minutes apart). Contractions became very strong, and we came back to the hospital at 6:30PM. At 9:00PM Danielle received her epidural, which completely eliminated the pain. She stopped progressing around 2:30AM, and they decided to do a c-section at 5:45AM.
The doctors and nurses all commented about how giant Drew was (he looks like a football player!), and how much hair he has. He got his first bath at 10:00AM (he cried hysterically, and then I think he decided he liked it). He is also already an expert at making dirty diapers.
Mom and baby are both doing great (Drew is making all kinds of cute sounds while he sleeps)!
