IT'S A BOY!

Its a boy! born 7lbs 8ozs at 6:40pm.

Unfortunately, or fortunately...whichever way you want to look at it, it has been very difficult to rupture Gena's water. So, Dr. Goist finally stopped by to see Gena and tried her own "stab" (no pun intended) at breaking Gena's water and was successful her first try. So now with Gena's water broken, she should begin to progress much faster. She is resting comfortably with the epidural and is able to move but is not in any pain. Hopefully we will have a baby in the next hour or two. More to come.

Gena was just administered her epidural. she was part of a clinical trial and used a new device...pain was minimal and she tolerated the procedure well.

Gena is currently 3cm dilated. she is on pitocin and is begining to feel stronger contraction. She is in good spirits and can't wait for things to progress.

Gena has been admitted to Labor & Delivery at The Ohio State Medical Center at ~8am. She is currently being set up in her room. Grandma & Grandpa Morse just arrived and surprised Gena. She was very surprised and excited. We will try and provide updates as often as possible.

Alexa's last few days as an only child

Alexa loves reading books.

These are some photos of the new baby's room.

It won't be much longer before we are bringing home another baby.
Gena will be induced on Friday morning, January 16th unless labor
begins naturally sooner.

Alexa is always trying to pull on Gabbi's dog tags. Luckily, the dog likes the attention.
