It's the day!!

Halie was put on Pitocin at about 7:30 this morning. The doctor also came in and broke her water. I ran home for a couple minutes after she was all settled back in. I called her 15 minutes later to check on her and she was already having contraction pains! She decided to go ahead and order an epidural since the pain was getting bad fast. She's now feeling good and feeling tired. Contractions are about 5 minutes apart it seems and she's 3cm.

Good morning! This is Steve writing. I will hopefully be able to provide updates throughout the day. Last night we came to the hospital about 8pm. After a lengthy check-in process and a battery of questions they got Halie hooked up to an IV and blood pressure thing. They put 2 straps around her belly. One to monitor Cambry's heart rate and another to monitor any contractions. She also got a cervix dialater thing (which is why we came the night before). Needless to say we didn't get a whole lot of sleep. At 7:30 they will start the Pitocin to induce labor. Thanks for all of the prayers!
