They have a service that comes in and takes pictures of your baby just before you leave.  They make money by allowing you to order packages.

I got to burp her today.

They're going to keep the baby for a couple more days until all the blood test results come back even though whatever it was has passed. Maya is taking that kind of hard.

Everything is okay. Maya has an epidural in place, and at the moment she is napping peacefully. She's a real trooper.

we think the baby will be born sometime around 6:30
The bottom line shows that her contractions are 5 mins apart
