So many thanks to Tiffany for keeping things up to date on the blog. Our hospital is in the stone age for technology, and we figure by the time we carve something in a stone tablet and send it by mammoth the baby may already be 4 years old!
Emily is amazing, and has been extraordinarily patient with the whole situation. After 2 nights in the hospital, countless pokes, prods, interruptions, and all the rigamaroll that comes with a hospital stay, our little princess is still showing no intention of making her grand appearance!! They are starting a pitosin IV as we speak, and hope that last night's treatment will have made things more favorable for a true labor.
As to old wives' tales: they do NOT have to take a baby within 24 hours of breaking the bag of waters. According to our nurse this morning, "you can go for days as long as neither mom nor baby gets tachycardic." Great. Also, we are learning to dread the contraction pain scale. The bummer ones last night only register as a "2", which is discouraging.
Bottom line though: we have wonderful nurses, we feel the power of the prayer and faith of family and friends, we are ecstatic to have Em's mom in town, and eventually she HAS to come!! Thanks all for checking in! Off to the hospital!
