Almost there
During this morning’s OB visit, the doctor discovered that the baby wasn’t as active as last week. The sonogram showed very little fluid around the baby so the doctor decided to induce today (instead of 8:00 a.m. tomorrow morning). Well, after 6 hours of labor augmented with pitocin, it was clear that the baby was happy staying put. The doctor has decided to stop the pitocin for the night so that Nicole can eat and sleep. They will begin a small dosage of pitocin tomorrow morning at 4:00 a.m. and then start increasing the dosage at 6:00 a.m.
The good news (besides Nicole getting to eat dinner and get some rest before tomorrow) is that it also gave Nicole’s mom, dad, and sister time to stop by the hospital and visit, and Brian’s mom and dad time to get into town and get settled.
We hope all goes well today. You’ll be in our thoughts! Hopefully Nicole (and Brian :)) got some rest and Little Miss will decide to come and play today. Marianna cannot wait to hear the news of her arrival. She came home from school yesterday and said, “It’s the Tuesday after last Tuesday and Brian and Nicole said the baby is coming to the hospital today!” What a memory she has!
