Babied!

Yeah, I forgot to update since things got busy in the delivery room. Vincent is here, and he's healthy, and so's Ann. Trying to keep family and friends updated has kept us busy. He's going to be three weeks old tomorrow and it's weird how many differences we can already see in his growth since then.

Head spotted

The nurse just felt Vincent's head and said "you're just about ready for delivery". It's real and it's happening soon?

Epidural engage

So Ann's pain level went pretty high for a while so she requested the epidural. That's done now, and I think she's doing MUCH better. I got to call the parents to let them know we'd call when they should head over.

I'm hearing a newborn crying next door and thinking how that'll be us soon.

IV

Ann got an IV a few minutes ago and after noticing some air bubbles in the line I had a momentary freak-out before the nurse said that it was normal. As I write this they're adding the Petocin to her IV, so apparently the inducing of labor officially starts now.

5:37 edit: Contractions slowly starting...that didn't take long!

At l'hopital

It's 3:41 AM and we just got to the hospital. Ann wasn't scheduled till 6:00 but she couldn't sleep. She hasn't been able to sleep through the night lately anyway. We get an early start to Vinny!

Movies, Books, and Games in 2010

I guess I had made a list of movies, books, and games I wanted to experience in 2010 sometime last January and I just now found it. This list looks like a combination of things I had been meaning to get to for a while and things that just came out in 2009 and got good reviews. After checking off the successes my dismal stats are 0/14 Books, 3/58 Games, 8/24 Movies. Thankfully I did finish some books and games that weren't on the list, but nonetheless, to hell with goals I guess.

Review: Black Swan

Beautiful, scary, and really good.
