Making progress

Hey Everyone! Well, Dana and I spent the entire day yesterday at the hospital...still no baby. They gave Dana a drug yesterday to start the labor process. The drug caused some contractions, but she did not go into "full" labor. The drug (and contractions) caused the baby to drop more (Dana's bladder can certainly tell!) and caused her to become a LITTLE more dialated.

Last night the nurse gave Dana the option of staying in the hospital or coming home...she decided to come home so that she could eat (she had only been able to consume liquids all day) and sleep in her own bed.

She got a pretty good night's sleep last night and is actually feeling pretty good today. If she doesn't go into labor this weekend, we will be heading to the hospital on Monday so the doctor can give her Petocine to induce her.

We will keep you all posted of any further developments!
