3cm and a birthday!

Well this week has definitely been exciting for all of us. We went into the hospital early Thursday morning because I was having more contractions. Once they checked me, they said I was finally 3 cm and 50% effaced. So they decided to admit me and and off we were to a labor room. YEAH!

The contractions were getting more intense with contractions every minute apart. My wonderful doctor said that I could have an epidural for pain since he figured I would delivery that night if not by Friday. Aaron thought he would win the bet on picking my birthday would still come true!

After laboring all day and night with the contractions still 1-2 minutes apart, I still hadn't changed when they checked me. They said if I only made a little progress that they could do the c-section. With my luck, nothing changed. By morning, we were still in the same boat and by the afternoon they gave me the option of going home until things changed. Since I didn't want to break tradition of going to Benihana on my birthday, I opted to leave the hospital and head for dinner to celebrate my birthday and possibly the last dinner out with only two kids!

So again, we wait! We have another doctors appointment on Monday and if I make the littlest of change, they will do a c-section. So continue to keep all of us in prayers and we will keep you updated as much as possible. Thank you all that have supported us, prayed for us, helped with the boys and your love thus far.
