Welcome to In the Mind of the Man blog. Here I will try to keep a sort of running diary of my thoughts and experiences about raising a child from a male's point of view. After hearing countless people tell me that her childhood will be over in a Blink of an Eye, I decided to take time to stop and reflect on the day to day mundane activities my daughter and I share. I hope you enjoy reading and sharing in my journey, but most of all I hope my daughter and I enjoy looking back at this blog 20+ years from now and laughing.

Fetal Heart Monitor at the peak of a contraction.
Hard day today. Lots of pain. Better now with an epidural. Calm and peaceful now waiting for delivery.
Started pitocin at 6:45 this morning. Contractions need to be stronger and closer together. Doing well, though. 2 cm dilated and baby making progress.

Trying to get some sleep at the hospital. Contractions stronger now, every 2-4 minutes.
In Labor & Delivery. There's a pink IV in her hand!
Heather had an appointment today and her fluids were low. They are admitting her now and could induce within 12 hours. Will try to keep updating.
