Stay tuned...

Little man is on his way!! It started at about 2:30am this morning with mild cramping. I could sleep in and out of it so stayed in bed until Ben's alarm went off (Aren't I nice to let him sleep??) We started timing at 6am, contractions were 5 minutes apart, about 1 minute each, but not super painful. Most of the contractions are in my back with some radiating down the front. We called the on call doctor at about 7:30am to give them an update and she said it was up to us if we wanted to head in or labor some more at home but from the way I was describing everything she did think it was true labor. Well, since we had over a 50 minute drive we didn't plan on waiting too long before heading in. Ben went out and got the morning chores done while I walked the house. He even had time to come in a shower before we took off. We got to the hospital around 9:15am, checked in down in emergency and were sent up to labor and delivery. During check in we were excited to find out that our doctor is on call today, along with the peditrician that we have chosen. Apparently this little man takes after his mom; organized, planned out and right on time! So at this point we have been laboring for about two hours. At 9:45am I was at 3cm and 75% effaced. At 11:45am I was at 3cm, same effacement. Nice huh? So, the decision has been made to start me on Pitocin and see if that could help move my cervix along. So stay tuned for more updates. We will try our best to keep everyone as updated as possible.
