Daniela is starting to feel some serious, serious contractions. Unfortunately, she hasn't dilated enough and the hospital sends her home.
Due to the unhappy images and adult language being used by our heroine, no audio or video clips were recorded of this scene.

Daniela is admitted into the delivery room. Her new all-time favorite word: epidural.
Labor proceeds much more quickly and much less painfully.

 

SCENE 4

Andres Clarence Quast is born!
Mommy does an awesome job at labor!
Daddy manages to not pass out (and even cuts the umbilical cord)!

my favorite: (short) movie: Andres expressing his feelings about being out of the womb for about 60 seconds
