Labor has begun...

At 4 a.m. today, what is commonly termed the "show" has occurred. The "show" is defined as the loss of the mucus plug that forms in the cervical canal during pregnancy.

Very early today, Mommy D awoke me with much concern in her voice because there was blood coming out from her after she urinated. Half awake, I told her that she should inform me immediately if there are any other signs such as the "breaking of the waters." At around 8 a.m., after she urinated again, the blood had become chocolate-like, which disappeared by midday.

This is a clear sign that the onset of labor had begun, and anytime soon, we expect to be heading to the hospital.

As had been previously calculated, today is Theo's expected delivery. And without a doubt, he'll be arriving soon, if not tonight, then tomorrow, or maybe Monday at the latest.

We are all very excited, even Mommy D who is currently struggling with so much pain. It's the start of her climb to reach the summit. And I'll be there to see her through.

Wish us luck!
