LB here, reporting for duty. Just got word from @eltrain5 that she is in labor. She was in for an NST when they discovered she was having contractions. She is home for now, 1.5 cm dilated and 100% effaced with contractions every 2-5 minutes. She will hopefully be able to wait it out at home until she is in transition, but isn't sure if she can wait that long so lets give her some encouragement!

Update #1 1:50 a.m. EST eltrain is at 4 cm. Baby is sitting really low. Eltrain was getting nauseous from doubling contractions and this wasn't agreeing with baby so she got an epidural, they broke her water, and now she is now resting. Get some good rest LB! It'll be time to push before you know it!

Update #2 9:40 a.m. EST eltrain is now at 6 cm. Her contractions weren't dilating her, so they gave her a low dose of pitocin. They put in an internal monitor to make sure baby was handling it ok. There was a problem with the epi and it ended up leaking all over the Ned over the course of several hours before it was noticed, so eltrain actually wasn't getting any for a while. She's getting anxious at this point to push and meet her squish. Soon , LB!

Update #3 12:40 a.m. EST Baby Hudson is here via emergency c-section after 4.5 hours of pushing (seriously impressed by that!) Congratulations to my favorite LB on the birth of her baby boy!!! Can't wait to see pics! Now it's time to get some rest
