Labor

So as Ben writes this, it's about noon here in Atlanta, and Kristina is trying to follow nurse's orders to rest. The water broke this morning at 5am. Ben was the picture of calm after Kristina tapped him on the shoulder and gave him the news. They fed the cats, gathered the bags and the last few grab-and-go items, and came to the hospital. At first labor wasn't so bad and they were able to play some Uno. However, the contractions subsequently got more intense and more frequent and the Uno had to be discontinued. Much better now that the epidural is in though. The last inspection revealed 5cm dilation, up from 1cm when we first came in.

Both our nurse and our obstetrician are named Winnifred. What are the odds?
