very little dilation. we're in it for the long haul. if I've been quiet for a while please don't worry, it just means I'm distracted by the inexorable blankness of the walls

BABY UPDATE: there is no update. we've gotten some medicine meant to help the cervix realize it's time to open for business, but it's pretty slow-acting. naturally, the medicine is administered via a giant mock sperm, probably to remind the baby of his rootspic.twitter.com/hg6Osi8eJP

BABY UPDATE 2?: we're getting contractions about 1-2 minutes apart now, but we started out hardly dilated at all so we're not as far along as that implies. despite the intense pain and discomfort, my wife has never looked more beautiful. here comes another!!!

BABY UPDATE 4!: contractions woke her up, but we're 3-4 centimeters dilated now, making great progress. everything looks good and the pain is manageable. we still have a ways to go, but there's nothing quite like hitting your benchmarks!

BABY UPDATE 5‽: epidural is in and she's back to sleep. feels like only a few hours to go. all is smooth sailing. wife is groggy and I worry she will not remember fully how amazing I've been. please remind her later.
