UW Hospital

I had planned on being the Dola at the birth of Chieni and Gabe's baby who is due on May 5th 2006. Well...at 2 am I got a call saying the baby's "Bag of Waters" had ruptured. I said something that apparently didn't make any sense. At 5 I got a call to come to the UW. It took me 45 minutes to get out the door. It takes me normally about 7 minutes to dress, make coffee, and get out. I was in s. l. o. w. motion. Came to the hostpital, up to the birthing suite where one person after another came in to tell Chieni to try and get some rest. They came in 20 minute increments, almost enough time to fall asleep, but not quite. Yawn....

I have been here 7 hours and so far....nuttin's happening to report.
