I have two friends/wives of friends who are due to give birth this week. Last week another friend and I placed a $5 bet on who would go first--more a joke than anything.

When the bet was placed, we knew that the one lady was scheduled to be induced today, and the other was going off of her premature labor meds that Friday. I bet on the one going off the meds (Courtney), my friend bet on the one being induced (Rebecca). They have the same OBGYN and will deliver at the same hospital.

At 8:30 this morning:

The baby race has begun!

Jeff and Courtney - hospital - 6:30am

And I'm told that Rebecca went in at 7am.

Jeff was worried that them going in at 6:30am would delay Rebecca's induction that was supposed to start at 7am.

-Courtney was having 5 minute contractions when they called this morning [2:30].
-They got to the hospital around [3:30].
-No baby, but everyone was fine at [6:30]
-Learned that Courtney did get Rebecca bumped from 7:00 to 11 (I think).
-They had broke her water by then. [8:30].
-No baby yet, but Courtney has an epidural. They may start her on induction drugs soon. [10:00]

Just talked to Jeff; still no baby.

Rebecca is checked in and in a room. No word yet on if she's had a baby either.

talked to Jeff a little bit ago. still no baby, but things are starting to progress now.

Still no baby for Rebecca either but they got the last room available. Apparently it's a busy baby day.

I never thought such a crazy bet would turn out so close!
