Quick update: at 5am, the doctor’s decided to break Kirsten’s water in the hopes of accelerating the labor. (As they broke the water, they placed a little sensor on Baby A’s head to keep an eye on vitals.)
The Docs say that this usually helps the body find a rhythm for more intense labor. The doctors will keep a close eye on how she progresses over the next couple hours.
Good forward progress.
We are accepting boy/girl predictions and delivery time guesses. What do you think?
Love,
K&G&?&?

With the fatigue factor undoubtedly kicking in, you’re doing a fabulous job of keeping us all informed, Graham, thank you so much.
My prediction: 11:57 this morning, one boy, one girl, 6 pounds 12 ounces, 5 pounds 10 ounces.
We’ll see you in a few hours, rest when you can, we love you all,

Keep it up kirsten! We are all here for you! I think 2 girls around 1:45! Love you and thanks for all the updates
June 18, 2009 at 1:00 pm
Hang in there Kirsten (oh, and Dad-to-be)! Definitely 2 girls – I KNOW it!
June 18, 2009 at 1:55 pm
Give me an advantage here! How far dilated, what station is the head, effacement? If you give me those details I bet I could do pretty good at predicting delivery time! (Maybe bc i do it every day?!?!)
I am betting on two girls (its ok Graham, girls love their dads!)–at 2:10 pm
Good luck and Kirst looks AWESOME for being in the middle of labor!
June 18, 2009 at 2:00 pm
i was thinking a boy and a girl but now I am thinking its two girls. because everyone on the colby soccer team is having girls. of course the goalie will too. eek! go white mules.
June 18, 2009 at 2:22 pm
I’m so impressed with you guys. The stamina, the excitement, the mini-speakers playing Coldplay – well done Nelson-Pregnancy-Team!
Two girls and my original thought was 8/9pm last night which is obviously past so I will say around 3:30pm – 6/18.
Love you both,
Ashley

I’m thinking it’s one of each arriving about 3 PM.
June 18, 2009 at 4:40 pm
6:12 pm – one of each! That’s my guess.
