No baby yet.

We went in Tuesday night and after 5 hours of the run around, they gave Carrie the standard Oxytocin to induce labor. (They skipped the pill to soften her cervix because she was already having small, weak contractions.) It was a bad night of sleep, the room was making weird noises with all the equipment, the IV was uncomfortable and her contractions were never really that strong. (We did eat great burgers from Tony's Cable Car though.) Wednesday they kept increasing the dosage but things never really progressed. We walked small laps around Labor and Delivery saying hi to the same people trying to help move things along but no luck. Finally around 2pm today they suggested stopping the induction and sending us home. They would like to avoid a c-section if possible. The baby is healthy, Carrie is healthy and there is no risk in waiting. We wait until Friday for induction again. Let's just count on that for now. I know I said we would be three by the time of the next update but who knew? Only God and a little baby cuddling. Ciao.

It's time.........

...to go to the hospital. Carrie went in for testing today and they monitored a contraction. She felt a few more tonight during the Cowboys game. Maybe that was just the excitement of the game, not really sure. Anyway, she is scheduled to be induced tomorrow. We are a little nervous pacing around the house, packing like we are going on a cruise to the Caymans. But we will try and get some sleep because we are going to need it. It has been a long 9 months for her and she is ready so direct all the peace and positive energy you can share her way. The next time we update we will be three!
