So... this morning could not arrive soon enough. I had an awful time trying to contain excitement last night. My alarm went off at 4am this morning and I was raring to go and ready to get to the hospital. Just to add to the excitement for the day, as we are driving to the hospital on I-20 David gets pulled over. The officer comes to the window and says "sir did you realize you were speeding in a 55 mile an hr zone?" David hands him his drivers license and says "I'm taking my wife to the hospital to have a baby and I'm a little anxious". The officer quickly hands back his license and says "Good Luck". End of story. I was rolling!!!
We arrived promptly at 5:30 for our induction and pitocin was started at 6am. At. 8:10 Dr. B came in and checked me and broke my water. I am still only 1cm and 25% effaced, but he is in position. Also, there was meconium in the water so he will have to be double checked at delivery. Please keep praying...I know it's going to be a long day. He isn't showing any signs of being in a hurry to get out and meet this world.
We are going to take the next few hours to rest and relax, but we'll keep you posted.
Relish these moments and the anticipation Jessica! I'm very excited for you - it brings back the most wonderful memories of the birth of my son. You are blessed! We'll be praying for you!
