Childbirth in the 21st Century.

Melanie and Dom Bettinelli have sprinted to the hospital, as it seems Melanie's water broke this morning. Baby Sophia Therese will be making her debut today.

Dom is just about liveblogging the birth here.

So we’re in the hospital in the birthing center now. Happily they have WiFi, which should make it easier to keep in touch. Melanie still refuses to let me broadcast the birth live over the Internet. She’s so old-fashioned.

I recorded our children's birth with a camera using the quaint throwback material called "film," and Dom's lobbying to set up a webcam.

All in all, it's probably safer to offer congrats at Dom's--he'll be able to relay them more quickly, I imagine.
