11am

Nothing has really changed, the pitocin has been increased. Sarahs contractions are still coming- more frequently. She hasnt gotten any more pain medication. Sarah didnt really like the way it made her feel.
Karla and Hannah arrived around 10am... so now we are sitting around waiting.... and waiting....and waiting...

keep her in your prayers... also pray that Sarahs hunger feeling will go away as she isnt able to eat anything except clear liquids... guess the post baby diet is starting early.

Still Here.

Well after a night of contracting, and a painful morning without pitocin, the doctors can't decide whether or not to officially induce. Still not a lot of progression in the cervix. I have learned that Stadol works pretty well. It's a pain medication, and right now, it's working. More info in a couple of hours. Oh, the clock on this blog isn't right. It's 740 now. BDC

Starting Soon!!

Sarah was just taken off the Cervidel after about six hours of it, and they will start the pitocin around 600 (540 now). Everything is going just fine, except her comfort level is declining a bit. I guess it's really time for Emma Grace to show. Maybe we'll have good news soon.

At Rex finally!!!!

We're here finally, and the process has begun. Sarah will receive Cervidel a little later, and they will induce tomorrow morning. Everybody pray it all goes well. We're certain it will because Emma Grace is a miracle from God, and He will coach us through the whole process. God is good. BTW this is my first blog ever!!!!!!

Waiting on the call...

It seems all I'm doing lately is waiting. All my friends with kid's say this is the easiest part. But I'm not sure. So it's about 7pm Sunday night. We are waiting on the hospital to call us to tell us to come in to start the cervadil *(sp?). My doc said if they haven't called by 8 to call them. I'm so anxious, I'm getting ready to call now!!

I don't really feel nervous- surprisingly. Just anxious. Anxious for it to be over and to hold my little girl. I wish I could fast fwd. through this whole bit and stop where I have just given birth and she's in my arms!

Hopefully next time I post I'm either a mom OR I'm passing time with an epidural in and a baby on her way out!

We have a date!

Went back to the doctor yesterday. First we had another ultrasound. Everything still looks really good. Baby is still doing fine. And yes, she's still a girl! :) I asked the u-tech to look again and make sure Emma Grace hadn't grown any boy parts. She laughed, but checked and was like, oh no- those are definitely girl parts!!! Thee u-tech did an estimated birth weight...... 7lbs. 15 oz!!! Holy moly! Then they said, well give or take 15 oz. So she's either between 7 or 9 lbs. Nice "estimate"! Hope she's not closer to 9- I'm never getting her out if she is! The doctor checked me again and I still haven't made any progress.

So, they will admit me on Sunday night and begin administering some drug that starts with a c. Can't remember the name. Then Monday morning begin the actual inducing using potocin (sp). So baby on Monday? Maybe?! Hopefully not Tuesday! :) Either way- she's coming out soon and I at least have an end date in sight!

FOR STEPH

Happy Anniversary!! I was thinking this morning as I got up- wouldn't it be cool if Emma Grace shared Steph's special day?! Maybe.... day's not over with yet :)
