Nyoka and I checked into the hospital yesterday at 0730. She then got induced at around 0800-0830. Her mid-wife broke her bag of water at around 1600-1630. The contractions started to worsen. Nyoka is a superstar, she scream and cried in pain and agony till her last breath. She finally got pain relief at around 2200. we both got some shut eye at she had gotten her pain relief.

Nyoka was disappointed in herself for awhile, because she had no progress. But soon after she got her pain relief, she progressed.

At around 0400 this morning, she was ready to push. Her mid-wife had gone home after her shift yesterday, but had informed the oncoming shift to call her as soon as Nyoka was ready to push the baby out. The mid-wife was called and she showed up at around 0530.

So day begins with athe birth of Dominic at 0823 this morning. He weighed 7 lbs 13 oz and 19 inches long.

Here's Dominic!!!

Of course this is Nyoka before the induction and pain therapy.

This is after the Delivery of our son.
