41 weeks and labor updates

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.
