In Labor

Well, my water broke last night at 11:45pm. We got to Metro at 2am and started pitocin at 4:15. So far there hasn't been much progress, but they keep increasing the rate of meds?! Hopefully things will start happening soon... we'll keep ya posted!

Still waiting...

Sorry I didn't update yesterday - I hate to leave the millions of you who read this wondering if our daughter has made her arrival. No, she hasn't. I am 4cm, 75% effaced and super soft and forward. Everyone (including Dr. Pete) thinks that I will go in this weekend. Yeah right - I won't get my hopes up! We are scheduled to be induced on Tuesday *Chay's birthday* at 5:30am. I am really hoping we go before then, because I am not pretty at that time of the day :o) After our appointment yesterday, we went to the mall and walked for about 4 hours. The only thing that changed was the balance in our checking account. I am going to the other mall today with my mom, grandma, my mom-in-law, granny, and Isaac! I just keep on walking and squatting in hopes that labor begins soon! I am feeling no pain whatsoever, so I am hoping that this is the calm before the storm... I will keep you all posted!

LOL!!

This cartoon reminds me of the time my mom gave Isaac a bath and let him run around naked before getting him into his jammies! While playing by his high chair, he decided to go #2. My mom swept him away and got him cleaned up and finally put a diaper on. My mom was shocked when she came back out to the kitchen to find that it had been cleaned up... and nobody else was around to do it! Apparently the dog thought that it would be a yummy bedtime snack!!

Week 38

This week has been surprisingly easy in the pregnancy department! After going through the grueling process of having my membranes 'stripped' on our Friday appointment, I was miserable for the rest of the day and most of Saturday. The days prior to Friday, I could hardly walk and Dr. Pete says that when he tried to move Irelynn's head, she wouldn't budge. That would explain why I feel like there is a head between my legs ;o) Anyway, I have made my way to 2.5cm, super soft and she is engaged! However, that was 4 days ago and nothing has happened yet - arrgh! On a positive note, Dr. Pete said that if I haven't delivered by this Friday (the 7th), we would talk about inducing. I say: BRING IT ON! Hook me up with some pitocin and break my water, I can do the rest. So, we are hoping that Dr. Pete will send us over to Metro after our appointment on Friday and we will be holding our precious little girl before Saturday!! Either way, she will be here before we know it...
