And We're Off...

September 30, 2005

12:52 am.

Off to the hospital.

Contractions four minutes apart and hurting like proper motherfuckers. My cervix BETTER BE COOPERATING, IS ALL I'M SAYING.

Jason will update soon.

Posted by: Minarae | September 30, 2005 at 01:44 AM

Yeay you. I'm gonna go kiss MY little boy while I think of you and yours. (Right my little man and his daddy are sleeping all curled up. Cutest thing. I wish you many nights of looking at the same scene in your house and feeling as happy and melty as I do.)

Posted by: Lisa B | September 30, 2005 at 01:45 AM

WOO HOO! (I just got the strangest look from my husband for cheering and doing the dance of joy when I read this entry) I'm so excited for you guys, I can't wait to hear the report!

Congratulations!!

Posted by: callistawolf | September 30, 2005 at 01:57 AM

Hooray! and hope all is well!

Posted by: kerri | September 30, 2005 at 01:57 AM

God, I hope this is it for everyone!

Best of luck, and hoping for the shortest labor EVER in the history of labor -- I mean, once you're properly where you're supposed to be and not in the car or anything cliche like that.

Posted by: Broad | September 30, 2005 at 01:58 AM

Woohoo! I'm on-the-edge-of-my-seat excited for you both! Best of luck and go the many and varied swear words! (stoicism is for those with no imagination, I say)

Posted by: Sassafras | September 30, 2005 at 02:12 AM

Keep up the good work - either it is dilating, delivering, or simply *just* posting these notes we all like so much.

Posted by: Franci | September 30, 2005 at 02:30 AM

it would be beyond awesome if you guys updated during hardxcore labor time.

tooooo funny.

Posted by: naeiri | September 30, 2005 at 02:32 AM

Good luck guys!

Posted by: Katie | September 30, 2005 at 02:34 AM

Yeah! Can't wait to see Babalah! Sending you happy, loving vibes! Congratulations, if the wee one makes an appearance while I'm sleeping! I'll check back in the morning (pacific time).

Posted by: Roxie | September 30, 2005 at 02:38 AM

Holy Crap! I clicked over her for the 10th or so time today, feeling a little stalkerish, not really expecting to see this update!
I hope this is really it, and that your labour is everything you want it to be! Thinking of you guys.

Posted by: Sensitive Soul | September 30, 2005 at 02:39 AM

Good Luck!!! (and i hope the motherfucker contractions don't hurt too much)

Posted by: Leahtg | September 30, 2005 at 03:03 AM

Woo Hoo!!!!! Come on Babalah!

Posted by: cheryl b. | September 30, 2005 at 03:15 AM

Good luck! I hope you get through everything ok! Can't wait to see Babalah! More exclamations points are always good luck!!!!!!

Posted by: Zoe | September 30, 2005 at 03:37 AM

de-lurking to squeal with excitement!

Posted by: blackbird | September 30, 2005 at 03:54 AM

I woke up this morning and just knew that you were in labor (I'm in Europe so it's still middle of the night for NA). I could feel it. Then I was so excited to see my feeliing confirmed by your update! I'm so excited! A new baby is coming into the world today, people!
I'm sending my best thoughts your way, praying that the labor is short and as pain-free as possible.
I can't wait to hear from Jason!

Posted by: Dawn | September 30, 2005 at 04:16 AM

Congratulations! I hope eveything is going smoothly right now.

Is it weird that I keep thinking that this was the day I guessed, so it's my fault you've been waiting?

Posted by: Sarah King | September 30, 2005 at 05:11 AM

Wow! So exciting. Come out little Babalah!
Congratulations, Amy and Jason.

Posted by: Léonie | September 30, 2005 at 05:14 AM

Like Dawn, I am in Europe too. Hearing this news this morning is the best news EVER. Good luck Amalah! Lots of people are thinking about you and your family today!!!!

Hooray Babalah!

Posted by: Joke Aerts | September 30, 2005 at 05:15 AM

Wow, just got home, and I came home to happy news!
I hope that by the time I'm typing this, you are getting to know your new son, and I hope you had good drugs so it didn't hurt too much!!
Wooooo Hoooo!!!

Posted by: Jen | September 30, 2005 at 05:17 AM

I keep refreshing this page. So glad to hear it's happening!

And I bet you'll look stylish even in the throes of labour. Good luck!

Posted by: Ames | September 30, 2005 at 05:27 AM

oh WOW! I'm so excited for you all! :)

Work is gonna be impossible today - I'll be impatiently refreshing this page every 2 seconds looking for news and/or pictures of the babe!

Posted by: Kentucky_Kitty | September 30, 2005 at 05:47 AM

Can you imagine how BLUE the air is going to be in that delivery room??!
Yea, Storch Family! Best wishes to all!

Posted by: Lori | September 30, 2005 at 06:16 AM

have to delurk, you go girl! Hope you're holding your bundle of joy now as I type! Nothing better than having that baby in your arms right after they are born =))

Posted by: ChefLori | September 30, 2005 at 06:18 AM
