2:50pm Update

Well how quickly a matter of minutes can change things.  So it turns out that we have been increasing our pitocin over the past 1.5 hours but the "internal contractor-o-meter" may not have been working too good because the device was showing the contractions were actually decreasing in strength which was bringing on the thoughts of C Section..................................................but the fact of the matter is that over the last 1.5 hours we have now dilated to 8cm.  I guess the key trigger to having the nurse check Emily out was that she started to get the shakes like she was cold.   I am just amazed on how interesting the body is and how it can change so quickly to adapt to certain situations.

 

So now things are starting to rock and roll a little more and they just prepped the room for delivery by bring out many different blankets and "tools".  Not sure the timing of delivery, but we are moving in the right direction and at this point C Section is the farthest from our thoughts.  Phew!  That was not a fun thought, but we are back in good spirits now!!

 

More to come!!!
