On scene live coverage

[Drew Oppenheimer @OppenheimerDrew]

Midwife has arrived, and baby's heartbeat sounds strong and good.

Things continue to progress.

[Drew Oppenheimer @OppenheimerDrew]

Clocking in at 3 - 2 minutes steadily now. I thought I would have more time to prepare my material!

[Drew Oppenheimer @OppenheimerDrew]

Things were slowing down, but all of a sudden, we went from neutral to third gear.

[Drew Oppenheimer @OppenheimerDrew]

Those last two contractions made her sound like an off tune yodeler stubbing their toe on the couch.

Drew here coming out of retirement for one last job. It's been slow lately, but today things have ramped up. Are we looking at another 3 days of action packed news or just a few hours?

Follow along with me folks.

[Drew Oppenheimer @OppenheimerDrew]

We've come to the end of the journey.

It ended up in a C-section due to the baby being not co-operative with HIS positioning. Mama and baby Orion are doing great.

Thanks for following along.

[Drew Oppenheimer @OppenheimerDrew]

Push 'em out
Shove 'em out
Puuuush, Puuuush

We're starting the final stretch thanks for hanging in there with us folks. Next update (whenever it may be) will be a nice picture of Mother and baby.

Thanks for the support through all this.

News Alert: 9cm dilation!

Still going to let things progress for another couple hours before next update. Excitement is building.

You folks may not need to stay up late tonight.

[Drew Oppenheimer @OppenheimerDrew]

Send me your inspirational "You got this" video message for the mother.

Things are progressing along nicely and it's just the waiting game at this time. Baby and Mother are both doing great. The Father is just an emotional car wreck as usual, Lord help him.

[Drew Oppenheimer @OppenheimerDrew]

Epidural installed and flowing. Mother is more than elated to be able to sleep and no longer feel the contraction.

Great job by the medical team to get it done so quickly.

[Drew Oppenheimer @OppenheimerDrew]

Headed to OHSU to get an epidural. Mother is just too tired and can't get enough rest at home. It's been a long 48 hours.

[Drew Oppenheimer @OppenheimerDrew]

Still at it. Getting closer, but also getting tired. A valiant effort so far.

[Drew Oppenheimer @OppenheimerDrew]

The "Rebozo" manuever seems to have paid off. No longer having back pain during contractions and the current contractions are intensifying.

My prognostic: A baby will arrive in the next few hours. Fight me.

[Drew Oppenheimer @OppenheimerDrew]

Using a breast pump to create more contractions. Not an issue, except the pump sounds like lil John screaming "My boob" over and over.

Can't unhear it.

The Father feels vindicated about his claw comment because the midwives are shining her belly up like a bowling ball with a scarf.

The "Rebozo" technique, is an actual thing.

[Drew Oppenheimer @OppenheimerDrew]

Midwives have arrived again. Father suggested using an arcade claw to hoist the baby out.

Either the man is a complete idiot or a genius.

Sam and Dean Winchester are back. They thought there was a werewolf because of the howling. At least Castiel was cool about the whole thing.

[Drew Oppenheimer @OppenheimerDrew]

Contractions are 4 minutes apart lasting up to 2 minutes. This lady is putting in some work!
