Notes:
This is a transcript of the birth of my wonderful god-daughter Kalinda. I met my friend Amy online, but we soon developed a close face to face as well as online relationship. She invited me, and my laptop, into her delivery room where I transcribed events as they happened for many of our fellow community members to share. It was an awesome experience for us all, and a copy of the transcript is held in Kalinda's baby book!
Amy was on pitocin when I arrived at the hospital (it was a scheduled induction) and was massively out of it with Demerol until I was there for a while. She claims to have a low threshhold for pain but she sure was a champ all the way through from my point of view!
The birth was on October 3rd, and then there was a naming ceremony on the 6th which is also on the same 'recorder/transcript'
Hobbes transcribed the birth, then went to Arizona and was at a party with most of the kids listed on this transcript - Calvin transcribed the naming ceremony while we all looked on through my laptop at my hotel.

[10/3/96 17:17 ] Hobbes: the contraction, I think, made the uterus push the tummy around ... ejecting the contents ... or at least trying to
[10/3/96 17:17 ] Goulash: she puked? :\
[10/3/96 17:17 ] Hobbes made that up - I suppose I should ask the doctor here ...
[10/3/96 17:17 ] Hobbes (to Goulash): she did earlier, I don't think she did just now though ...
[10/3/96 17:17 ] Hobbes: every woman I've talked to recently said they did too ...

[10/3/96 17:47 ] Hobbes: she's holding her sister's hand really tight ... charles is stroking her leg through the contraction ...
[10/3/96 17:48 ] Hobbes smiles ... she dozed off after the contraction - with her hand still up in the air where she had been holding libby's hand
[10/3/96 17:49 ] Hobbes: hot towel on the tummy - feels good :)

[10/3/96 19:52 ] Ladybug would send a LMC chocolate cake, but she doesn't make them as well as LMC does.
[10/3/96 19:52 ] Wix: Many blessings and prayers for her on this special night.
[10/3/96 19:53 ] Hobbes laughs - she slept through me telling her all of that ...
[10/3/96 19:53 ] Hobbes: it's not personal, I assure you ... she's pretty much only waking up for Kalinda these moments ;>
[10/3/96 19:55 ] Wix: Poor girl! It must be quite a battle she's in.
[10/3/96 19:55 ] Hobbes: okay - she says she heard the greetings ... she's getting the updates now during a contraction ;>
[10/3/96 19:56 ] Ladybug very lightly bonks LMC with a blessing and prayers. :)
[10/3/96 19:56 ] quantum-leaper grins..and wonders if the doctors are talking about the strange ppl that are transcribing the birth over the computer..:)
[10/3/96 19:56 ] Hobbes grins ... he's reading everything ...

[10/3/96 19:57 ] Hobbes tries to get this out before he might come back - but this is a VERY cute doctor ...
[10/3/96 19:58 ] quantum-leaper: and I am missing that??? bummer...grins
[10/3/96 19:58 ] Ladybug notes that comment was recorded :)
[10/3/96 19:58 ] Hobbes: there's a strip of paper coming out of a monitor - looks like earthquake or lie detector stuff ... big hills when she has contractions ...
[10/3/96 19:58 ] MadMax giggles... now hobbes, you ARE marrrried
[10/3/96 19:58 ] Hobbes: oh crud ... and I told him he could have a transcript too ...

[10/3/96 20:01 ] Hobbes: she's smiling though ... it's SO much better than it was!!!
[10/3/96 20:01 ] Hobbes: he's checking out dilation again ...
[10/3/96 20:01 ] Hobbes: whoops ... not that ... checking if the head is further, not the same thing ...
[10/3/96 20:01 ] Hobbes smiles ... Jessica just gave her hard-working big sis a kiss :)

[10/3/96 20:08 ] Costigan: Something tells me you've got something planned ...
[10/3/96 20:08 ] MadMax can just imagine LMC bending over, and then kalinda just flying out
[10/3/96 20:10 ] Hobbes: she's going to push on the next contraction ...
[10/3/96 20:10 ] Hobbes: doc is explaining the pushing, since she can't feel too much until the med wears off ...
[10/3/96 20:10 ] Hobbes: good pushing ... we're close!!!
[10/3/96 20:10 ] Wix: Push it out, shove it out, wAAAAAy out.

[10/3/96 20:14 ] MadMax bets ql likes billy ray cause - i know i'm gonna get thwaped - because he'scute
[10/3/96 20:14 ] Hobbes: the pushing seems a lot more comfortable than the eariler contractions ...

[10/3/96 20:15 ] Wix: No relaxing! Get to work!

[10/3/96 20:15 ] Hobbes can see the head :)
[10/3/96 20:15 ] MadMax wonders if hobbes has moved to the business end of things
[10/3/96 20:16 ] Hobbes has a good vantage point ... we all do, actually ... and they brought in a mirror so lmc can see too :)
[10/3/96 20:17 ] MadMax laughs!
[10/3/96 20:17 ] MadMax: first time i've heard of that ever happening!
[10/3/96 20:18 ] Hobbes just moved a bunch of our junk off the counter for the nurse ... they have a basinet kind of thing in here now :)

[10/3/96 20:19 ] Hobbes: Santa Clara Valley Medical Center ...
[10/3/96 20:19 ] MadMax pouts! kalinda doesn't have to suffer with the macarena!
[10/3/96 20:19 ] Hobbes laughs ... when she pushes she can make her belly button go inside out - which makes her sisters squeem ...
[10/3/96 20:20 ] Ladybug: ewwws
[10/3/96 20:20 ] Ladybug giggles.
[10/3/96 20:20 ] Wix giggles
[10/3/96 20:20 ] Hobbes: it's the brazilian music ...
[10/3/96 20:20 ] Wix: Figures LMC would be facinated with that :)
[10/3/96 20:20 ] MadMax laughs...
[10/3/96 20:20 ] Hobbes thinks she did that just to squeam out her sisters
[10/3/96 20:22 ] Hobbes: another push ... doc counts to 10 ... then anoter big breath, and another 10 second push ...
[10/3/96 20:22 ] Ladybug: go LMC go!

[10/3/96 20:26 ] Hobbes laughs ... it's two steps forward, one step back now, according to the doc ...
[10/3/96 20:27 ] Hobbes: each push ... and she'll have a lot more control as the med wears off ... she oughta basically start feeling again just as the baby is coming out - she's feeling really good :)
[10/3/96 20:28 ] Hobbes: another good push ...
[10/3/96 20:29 ] Hobbes: she'll have more control over the pushing in about 10 minutes when the meds wear off, but by then she should be REAL close!

[10/3/96 20:36 ] Ladybug: Go Kalinda! Go LMC!
[10/3/96 20:37 ] Hobbes: they all just 'awweeed' about ladybug's present of innocent look ...
[10/3/96 20:37 ] Costigan: Anybody interested in a Kabalarian analysis of the name 'Kalinda'?

[10/3/96 20:38 ] Ladybug: a what analysis??
[10/3/96 20:38 ] Hobbes grins ... you do know the naming ceremony on sunday will beo nline too, right? :>

[10/3/96 20:38 ] Hobbes: we have the doc and two nurses, and the two sisters, me ... and all of you, of course :)
[10/3/96 20:38 ] MadMax (to Hobbes): i bet lmc will be announcing it, right?
[10/3/96 20:39 ] Costigan: There's some school of philosophy named Kabalarian. I don't know anything about it. Full-text search of the web turns up strange things. Here it is (edited). I esp. like the last sentence ...
[10/3/96 20:39 ] Hobbes: no - my dad is gonna do the transcribing, I have stuff to bring to the party on sunday, we actually have the last part of the ceremony!!! from pueblo, from the party!!!
[10/3/96 20:39 ] Costigan: Your name of Kalinda gives you a very passive outlook on life. You are inclined to live in your dreams and, although you would like to do many things, you are inclined to procrastinate. This name gives you a very sensitive nature and you feel much that you do not understand. You have very high ideals and desire the refinements of life. You are inclined to indulge in foods that lack nourishment, such as rich pastries, jellies, or ice cream.
[10/3/96 20:39 ] Hobbes: another set of pushes ...
[10/3/96 20:39 ] Hobbes: a good one ... really good ... the doc is being REALLY supportive ... he's great!
[10/3/96 20:40 ] Hobbes: we saw a lot of the scalp that time :)
[10/3/96 20:40 ] MadMax: has it been five minutes?
[10/3/96 20:40 ] Ladybug watches in anticipation.
[10/3/96 20:41 ] Hobbes smiles ... waiting for a contraction :)
[10/3/96 20:41 ] MadMax: extends his bet to within the next 5 minutes...

[10/3/96 20:41 ] Hobbes: libby says you can make up the error by virtual babysitting ;>

[10/3/96 20:42 ] MadMax: who? me?

[10/3/96 20:43 ] quantum-leaper giggles..:)
[10/3/96 20:43 ] Costigan: What do you mean by "4 this time?" Is that a score?
[10/3/96 20:44 ] Costigan: 4 pushes per contraction?
[10/3/96 20:44 ] MadMax: tell jessica it's the energizer bunny...
[10/3/96 20:44 ] Hobbes nods ... it's been 2 or 3 ...
[10/3/96 20:44 ] Hobbes: um, she probably said that ;>
[10/3/96 20:44 ] Costigan: Or should we be holding up scorecards?
[10/3/96 20:44 ] Hobbes laughs!!!
[10/3/96 20:44 ] Hobbes: he's explaining that later, she'll breathe during contractions, and push in between ...
[10/3/96 20:45 ] Hobbes: he'll let her know then ...
[10/3/96 20:45 ] Hobbes: another contraction and push ...
[10/3/96 20:46 ] Hobbes: she's tired after that one ...
