She's in labor. We're trying to get a flight to FL now.
She's 5 cm and 100% effaced, so he'll be born before we're able to leave.
Talked to dad. He wants us to be excited. He asked how I was feeling. I said I didn't have words to describe it. He liked that.
This is happening.

ETA:
He was born at 10:35 pm Eastern. 7 lbs 14 oz. Dad called me and I heard some of his first cries. He was taking pictures for us.
Life as an adoptive family.
