Yes, it was active labor
So, it's 3:30AM. For some reason, I can't sleep. Here's why;
My son, Kaiden Ichiro Arakaki was born last night (err, three hours ago). September 15th, at 12:30AM MST. He is 19 inches long, and weighs in at 6 pounds, 13 ounces. As for Cat's comment to my last entry, I completely understand what you meant, and it's what I thought as well. But it was active labor. Really, really, really slow active labor.
At 1AM yesterday morning, Tine wakes me up again. I figure she needs something from me, but it's her contractions; they've sped up to every 2 minutes and are harder now. We go to the hospital (again), where they check her in and we sleep in a birthing room hooked to monitors. At 7AM, her doctor comes in, and decides to break her water. She goes onto Pitocin, and even then, it takes her until 11:30PM to dialate enough for delivery. Give us another hour, and we have a baby.
Yes, I bawled. I can't tell you how happy I was when I heard him cry that first time. There are plenty of pictures, but none of them from my digital camera, so it'll be a short while before they are on here.
I think it's time I get some sleep!
