The waiting game

I drove up to washington tonight to be with my sister when she gives birth to her first (and most likely only) daughter. I arrived at the hospital at approximately 9:30pm and my sister was pretty out of it due to the pain brought on by the contractions. She told me that she has been having contractions since 5am this morning and that they have been fairly regular all day long. She was really tired and I'm sure also very very sore. After twenty minutes or so a nurse came in to give my sister a shot of morphine and antihistamine (don't quote me on that, medically inclined folk) so that she can sleep. After waiting with her and Peter for several hours I decided to head back to their house in Olympia to get some rest. Which is where I am now.

The waiting game begins...

They will give me a call tomorrow (sunday, which is actually today) when my sister goes into labor. Until I get the call I'm just going to wait around and do my homework; which I have a lot of. I'll post pictures as soon as I can take them.
