Notes: Today is my sister's induction date. That is, if she hadn't gone into labour yesterday, they would've induced it today. From what my told me, they actually induced it yesterday, which may be part of the reason why it went so quickly (less than six hours, whereas her other children all required nine). They'll be sending her home today, which I guess means that the little heart murmur they found yesterday is nothing to worry about. Even better, she no longer has to worry about gestational diabetes (although with it goes any chance of losing her maternity weight).

Heart murmur merely means the foramen ovale hasn't closed all the way yet.

Pretty common in newborns.

Congratulations to uncle mothefuck!
