COUNTDOWN

Christie has been having contractions all day.

When they hit about 5 min. apart we went to the hospital. They monitored her for an hour or so. The contractions were not heavy at the time and we still stand at 50-70% effaced, and 1 cm dilated.

They told us to go walk and come back when the contractions were 2-3 min apart and much more intense. We went to the mall and walked, trying to get things moving. We know that this is the real deal because when she walks the contractions do become more intense.

We both have the day off tomorrow and have an appointment at 10:30 in the morning. If things are not moving then, we will be walking some more.

We both hope that late tonight or tomorrow, she will be in the thick of it.

We were both very anxious today and a little disappointed that we were no farther along. I hope that if Christie is not going to go into full labor tonight that she does get some sleep. It has been hard for her lately and it will be harder tonight with the contractions.

When we are in the hospital and actually having the baby I will make the phone calls to the friends and Family that need it, and naturally will update this site for everyone else also and send out the e-mails.

Wish Us Luck!
