Still Waiting
Well, not much progress so far. I have been 3 centimeters since 9:00 this morning. I have made progress by effacing and Ella has dropped. So far no change in dialation. They have turned off my pitocin for the night and are going to let me get something to eat (Yay!). My doctor said he still thought I would go sometime through the night but he wasn't sure when. So we have told family members that were waiting with us here to go on home and we will call them as soon as anything changes. I really thought things would go much faster than this today. But I am looking forward to getting something to eat and hopefully getting some rest. Now that I have my epidural the pain in my back and ribs is gone. Hopefully I can get some sleep and be bright eyed and bushy tailed when Ella arrives! Thank you all for your continued prayers! I will update if anything changes.

Found your blog tonight. You have inspired me in more ways than I can mention. But most of all, you have made me charish my babies more than ever and you have reminded me that God is good all the time. He knows what he is doing and will not give us more than we can handle, which to me makes you a superhero! Can't imagine what your family is going through, but thank you for blessing me with your story. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Not just tonight but for a long while. Thank you for allowing God to use you through this extremely difficult time. Hoping for a miracle, praying for peace.
