He is here!!!!
It took a while but he finally decided to grace us with his presence. For those of you who have not yet heard the stor I will attempt to summarize the key point quickly since I am on a quick trip home from the hospital to update the blog and take a shower.
Log story short...Darcy woke me up around 4:30 A.M. on Monday morning thinking that her water had broken. She wasn't sure though since there wasn't that much water. Also the fluid did have a green tinge to it so we were worried that he had already gone #2 so we called the hospital and they told us to come in.
We got to the hospital and they hooked Darcy up so that they could monitor both the Bay and her at the same time and tested the fluid to see if in fact her water had broken. That test came beack in the affirmitive. So they admitted us to the hospital. The Doctor on call decided that it would be best to allow Darcy to go into laabor by herself so he did not start any pitosin(sp). So about 6 hours later we were just chillin in the room reading Harry Potter when the nurse came in and put Darcy on her side gave her oxygen and then waited while watching the Babies heart rate. It was falling way below where it should have been so she warned us that if his heart rate did not come up a C-Section was in our immediate future.
The Doctor then came in and checked her to see if she was dialated(sp). Unfortunately nothing had changed in fact when we got there the nurse had said that she was a finger tip but the Doctor said that she was completely closed. So he decided to put her on some thing that would stop any labor to give the baby a rest but the heart rate continued to fall so we went in for an emergency C-Section.
In the end it wasn't what we planned but besides a breif stay in the NICU Baby Orin Talbot Patterson is perfectly fine and Darcy is doing well.
Mom and Dad are a little tired but besides that we don't have any complaints. I am going to poat a bunch of Photos following this post. I hope you like them.

Crazy story, guys! I'm glad everything ended up OK. PS...I love that you were reading Harry Potter while you were in labor. You know...Harry's birthday is today (July 31st) so if Orin had only waited one more day...
