April 21, 2011 --
Today's the day we first met our Cole! Labor started at 12:30 in the morning, as Lindsey thought that her water might have broken (it did). Lindsey and I finally got to the hospital around 9:30 a.m., fully expecting to be told to go home because contractions were neither close enough nor regular, and because the water breaking was a figment of Lindsey's imagination. Cole had other ideas, however. As it turns out, the water had broken, and Cole was ready to make his debut! Labor progressed steadily, and after an hour and a half of active labor, Cole joined our family at 6:54 p.m. Lindsey did wonderfully (I was in total awe of her), and both my wife and son looked amazing. Weighing 7 pounds, 10 ounces, and measuring 20 inches, the newest Diedrich was just perfect.
