We got here a little after 10:00 this morning. They were a little busy so they had us come in a little later than originally planned. It took awhile for them to get Amy checked in, IV set up, etc. So the real induction didn't get underway until around 12:20 this afternoon. They also broke her water shortly afterward. Amy had a few contractions before they started the medication, but within about an hour or so after the medicine, and breaking the water, the contractions picked up pretty quickly - they got to the point where they were every 2 to 3 minutes apart. They were rather short, but painful - so we went ahead and had the epidural taken care of at about 2:00.

So right now we're just hanging out watching the monitor go up and down every couple of minutes. The calm before the storm. So the final chapter of the baby watch is officially underway. Stay tuned!
