11 am, hour 6




Here we are, We are calling this picture Popsicle Jen! Contractions are getting stronger, pitosin is at 14, and she can feel her belly tighten on every contraction. They are about a min or 2 min apart. Jen is pain free and cant wait to have our new arrival in the world with us.

10 am, hour 5


Strong contractions every 2-3 min. The epidural is in, and she is getting a little numb. Jen's mom is here and is helping her with the breathing. We are looking for the Dr to come back in around lunch. Will update again in an hour.

Almost 9 am, Hour 4


The water has been broken, I say again, the water has been broken! The Dr. came in and broke her water, she is dilated to a 3 and 75% effaced. She is progressing and things look good so far. No Epidural yet, but maybe in the next hour. Jen says she feels like she is going to the bathroom, and feels some cramping, but the contractions are starting to ramp up. Talk to you guys in an hour.

8 am, Hour 3

Jen is having contractions, they are small and about 10-15 min apart. We are waiting for the Dr. to come in to break the old water. Her friend who is the chief resident "Dee Adams" came in and took a look at everything. She is good and not in pain, the nurses are looking for the pain, ha ha. I will take a pic after everything else. Talk to everyone soon.

7 AM

We are in the waiting mode, they have ramped up the pitocin a little, Jen says that it feels like hunger pains. Last check she was still dialated at 2. Nothing new besides that, we are having fun watching SportsCenter. Will post again in an hour. No new pic this time, nothing has changed.

6 AM, Here we go!


Pitocin is in, Baby's heart rate is great. Jen is still at 2cm dialated. Dr. should be in around 8 am to break her water. We are still excited and Jen keeps having to go to the bathroom. No contractions yet.

Induction Day!!!! 2 July 09




5 am, we are here and ready to go. We are inducing today, so hopefully everything works out great. We have all the stuff, and you can see by the pics that Jen is in the bad and ready to get started. The Dr. is supposed to be here by around 8 am. I will try to update every hour or so.
