And Its On.......

Good Morning All,

Its almost noon on the 17th of July. We've been here since about 4am this morning. We are both beat. To catch you up on all the goings on, here's a recap of all the events until now...Keisha started having contractions about 7:30 am on Friday. I stayed home and we just monitored the contractions with an iTouch app...pretty neat. After a while, Keisha was ready to get out of the house. Our Lamaze instructor told us that walking is the best way to go through labor so we decided to go to the mall and walk around. Here's a video of Keisha in the mall in the midst of contractions every 10 minutes:



While at the mall, Keisha got a foot massage.....she looked so relaxed and the dude said it was good for the baby or at least that's what he said.....Here's the vid:


After the mall, we headed home to 1) get out of the heat and 2) get the car packed for the arrival of little Quincy. We just chilled for the remainder of the day. Contractions pretty much stayed steady for the rest of the evening. We both were beginning to think that Quincy was not ready to come so we took this last video before Keisha went to lay it down...


Around 3am today, the contractions woke Keisha up out of one of those deep sleeps. Just a warning to all future mothers, the real contractions are no joke. We called the doctor and she said that we should come on in......so that was it...it was definitely time....



Let me wrap this up....this will be our last correspondence until Quincy is born. I just want to say that Keisha is a trooper....a very high tolerance for pain. All the nurses are impressed by how calm she has been throughout. More to come....talk to ya'll soon...
