Boy Are My Arms Tired

okay, I really have nothing to complain about this morning other than only about 40 minutes of sleep.

Still no baby meyer but things are happenning. We came in for the appointment yesterday afternoon and are still here at 7 this morning, well sorta.

They gave Steph the drugs to help thin the cervix at 5 pm and we had to wait about two hours to see if we needed a second dose. The contractions started growing in frequency and intensity so a second dose was not required. Unfortunately, the Birthing Place was having a fire sale on babies yesterday and at least three werebeing delivered during prime time last night. Steph was feeling good and we decided to deal with the contractions at home.

That lasted until about 12:30 when we decided to make the trip back down the hill. After a full night of contractions Steph is resting comfortably. Still no baby but also no pain for the time being. She is dialated to a 3 or 4, at least around 5 am or so and was about 75 percent thinned out. No water break yet but it is only a matter of time.

I'm going to fold myself back into these two chairs and try for a quick nap before Steph wakes up.

Hopefully we'll have our new life starting very soon.
