Birth In The Internet Age

About 7 minutes ago my step sister gave birth to a baby. The interesting thing about this is that with the empowerment of a BlackBerry, all of her friends and family have been kept in the loop on the events of the day since about 4am, when she happily announced that contractions suck, but epidurals rock. Since that initial announcement (which somehow I was awake for), there have been regular updates on dilation progress and other interesting facts as she progressed. It is interesting that she is in Massachusetts and I am NC, but yet, I still feel a little involved. Anyway, its pretty cool to have a nephew.
