Midnight

They just checked Traci again and she's jumped from a 7 to a 9.....It looks like around 1am or so....She s still doing great. She's gotten the shakes from the epidural, everything else looks great.

11:30pm Update

They checked Traci at 11am and she was up to a 7. She is doing great, baby's heart rate has dropped a few times but overall mom and baby are doing great. Traci has been wonderful throughout the time.We'll update after they check her again.

Half Way There!

It is 8:45 and I am dilated to 5. His heart rate has dropped a few times, but baby and I are doing good. Please pray that we stay safe and healthy. We love you guys, and thanks for your concerns, thoughts, and prayers.

He's Coming

This morning around 9:30am Traci started feeling her contractions get stronger. Around 11:45am she called the doctor and the doctor had her come into Labor and Delivery. After monitoring her for an hour or so, the doctor broke Traci's water and started her on medicine to get the contractions going. It's about 4:30pm and Traci is feeling OK. We'll post again later but they are estimating around 11pm.

The Waiting Game

We had a doctors appt on Thursday. It as good as it could go I guess. I am 1cm dialated (been a 1 for a month) and I am 60% effaced. The doctor said I would not make any more progress until I go into labor. She is leaving to go out of town May 30-June 6. If I have not had Easton by the time she returns back from vacation, she will admit me into the hospital lte Sunday, June 7, and she will put me on pitocin the morning of June 8. So we are just waiting patiently everyday for him to make his arrival. I cross my fingers that he comes on his own and I don't have to be induced for my sake, and his. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.

Old Wives' Tales

So I have decided there is not much I can do to entertain myself at 39 weeks pregnant! I am all about trying the Old Wives' Tales to give me something to do. So here is what I have tried so far........Thursday night Peter and I went to eat chinese food, Friday night I ate the most spiciest enchilidas with Peter and my mother in law. This morning Peter and I went walking for an hour. I ate more spicy mexican food for breakfast. (haha) I have been doing squats in the breakfast room today. I think I will go get a pedicure and let the girl massage all of my pressure points. We are going swimming today around 2 and I am going to jog and jump up and down in the pool. Is it sad this is how I am entertaining myself these days?

False Alarm

Today just wasn't my day. I was at work with my students when the worst pain hit me. I made a phone call to my Doctor to describe the pain. She told me to come in immediately. Peter picked me up from school and we were well on our way. We were both excited thinking "Is this it." I was crying and in some pain. After the doctor checking me out she said I am having baby baby contractions along with some other things I am going through. She said to go home and get off my feet and stopping work would be a good idea. So now I am just continuing to play the "WAITING GAME."
