Tuesday, 10am CT
In case you didn't see it in the other thread, Andrea has been scheduled for an induction at 5:30am MST tomorrow (Wed) morning. I know she's nervous so please send T&P her way. Also, she asked that you please do not mention this on Facebook, since she does not want everyone to know and show up at the hospital. I'll be updating as I get news. Good luck, Andrea! I hope Camden comes quickly and safely!!
Wednesday, 10:30am CT
Andrea texted me an hour ago (was on my way to work, which is why I'm only just now updating) to say that they had started her on Pitocin and that she was having some good but painless contractions.
Wednesday, 2:30pm CT
Got another text 15 minutes ago. They broke her water at noon MST, and since then her contractions have increased dramatically in frequency and intensity. She's in pain, but so far has gone without pain medication. No word on how dilated/effaced she is. You go girl!!! I hope it isn't much longer!!!!!
Wednesday, 6:30pm CT
After four long and painful hours, Andrea got an epidural. She says she feels a million times better now. Currently 5cm dilated - slow but steady progress.
Wednesday, 11:50pm CT
Just got another text - he's here! Camden Drake was born at 9:23pm. He is 8lbs, 1oz and 19 1/2 inches. Andrea had a successful vaginal birth after about an hour of pushing with just a little tearing. He is already learning to breastfeed and is, according to mommy, "perfect in every way". She'll send a picture soon. Congrats Andrea!!!!

Wow you're awesome Andrea! Pitocin contractions without meds - I hear those are the absolute worst, and you're handling them like a champ! 
C'mon Camden, everyone wants to meet you!
