moved to our recovery room.

what a crazy day it's been! Kendra spent the morning laboring at home. When the contractions got to down to about 5 minutes apart, and getting to be a bit too much to handle we decided to head to the hospital.
My expectation based on Joseph was that we would be here a few hours laboring, then start the delivery process and have Johnathan sometime in the night.
well.. Johnathan had other plans. We think Kendra's water broke as we were walking into the Hospital, at this point Kendra was not enjoying the contractions, and was considering the epidural.
The nurse and a midwife showed us to the room, and did and initial exam on Kendra. The midwife says, "Oh, your at 10cm"
Now, I knew this was the goal, but I guess it didn't really hit me what it meant until the nurse goes "Oh!" and springs into actions pulling untold contraptions out of every cabinet.
Kendra looks at the midwife and says "I guess it's too late for the epidural then?"
the midwife, as polite as she could says "um.. yea. you're gonna have this baby naturally... in a few minutes."
the rest of the delivery went quickly, although he was head down, he was looking up, "sunny side up" as they call it.
There were no complications, and everything went smoothly.
we've moved to our recovery room now, and I will work on uploading some of the pictures.
