Hola Amigos! First, thanks to everyone who twittered, IMed, or emailed - Mom and newborn are doing great. This week is a little crazy, and I’m not *really* working (or at least as much as a start-up entrepreneur doesn’t “work” at any time), but I did come across some downtime (baby sleeping) and an interesting article from Chandler I wanted to write about.
In “So What? Cuts Both Ways” Chandler...
Random lyric time - There’s a world inside and a world out there.. with that TV you just.don’t.care
Where there *any* OS X bugs from MOAB? I thought they were all Quicktime and VLC and such…
I’m getting email newsletters from someone. I really wish they’d just have a weblog…
OK, haven’t had a shower in 2 days. Time for Twitterscope to go down.
@mediaphyter: Just put up comments…
@mediaphyter: Well, now that I’m home with the laptop, your readership will increase by 33% then!
@jack_daniel: Thanks! 27!?! I’m scared. Very, very scared….
@Beaker: I stopped trying to make sense of it a while back
@wintr: WHAT?! that’s terrible. Unlimited data *makes* the iPhone. Somebody needs to beat Rogers with a cluestick
@wintr: What is the data deal with Canada?
@Beaker: Just be careful about International calling needs - Already bit me in the @ss trying to call Curphey
@rmogull: I really like the newsgator “email this” feature - Read a security article and email it to digest it later
@rmogull: I’ll try Thincloud then…

@rmogull: And then there’s Hahlo and Frenzic
@rmogull: Welcome to the iPHoney club! Netnewswire & Google Reader are the killer apps
Ahhh… Back at home! About to make replies and upload pictures
Held Jane in rocking chair for an hour. She makes tiny little noises with every breath in her sleep.

7pm Jane Elyn Hutton is born! Everyone is great.
@wintr what a great idea. There’ll be pics tomorrow, but I think the one a day is a great idea
first midnight feeding. :)
here we go this is it
now 8cm and the head is dropping lower. The head was at 1 and is now on “0”. For those keeping score at home we need to be at -2 for birth
at least its a diversion.
the anestheseoligists cell phone went off 4 times during the epidural administration. Now the nurse is giving us her life story.
now we’re @ 7cm and 90% effaced. This is going much more slowly than we had hoped, but everyone is fine and the epidural is working magic
we’re not doing laps… Too much IV equipment. We’re both just sitting and reading. its honestly been a wonderful labor thus far
still no progress. The nurse upped the dose and proclaimed “we’ re going to blow this baby out of there.
“meaningful” contraction metrics peaking at mid fifties now
5 year old is giving us an update on all the visitor waiting room scuttlebutt. “A man and a woman are fighting about a car.”
Obgyn update… No change.
there is a DVD player in the delivery room. There’s even an A/V cart with videos. For some reason lark is against watching “Under Seige”..
water’s broke. but still at 3cm. Looks like a couple more hours.
contractions now 3-6. Min. Apart.
we can only have 2 people in the room at a time. I have 2 kids and 5 other visitors from out of town. Going to have to shuffle people in
We got a new nurse, her name is Carmie. First HIPAA mention just now (for all you infosec twitter friends). Policies and guidelines abound
@mcwresearch: I’m just moral support ;) and historian.
and just as an aside. I don’t think my wife has ever looked more beautiful than she is now. Thank you for all the comments, btw…
quick update - we’re being induced. They are going to start the prtocin now. So if past experience holds, baby ETA is 2-3pm EST
We’re waiting now, going to use the iPhone for music now. Be back when there’s more excitement.
@beaker: LOL.. Update from the nurse : baby “looks absolutely fabulous”, we’re at 3cm pre-induction and 70% effaced
the pregnancy workstation is “designed for windows 95/nt”
they’ve hooked up the sound monitor. Heartbeat is good, baby has the hiccups.
@mediaphyter *you’re* excited? ;)
