Babies are coming!

Just a short update. . . .

I went to the OB this morning and he took pity on me and decided to induce labor. In reality my blood pressure was still a bit higher than they would like so medically it made more sense to get the babies out rather than keep them in.

After a bumpy afternoon I am happy to say that I am 6-7 centimeters dilated and drugged to the point where I don't feel my lower body. Which is just how God (in my opinion) intended it.


At the moment I am just hanging out in the room alone for a few minutes. My mom is here with Dan and my mother in law who literally hopped in the car and drove from Long Beach, CA to Scottsdale as soon as she heard about the induction.

I'm tired and hungry, but all things considered pretty good.

I love, love, love that you wrote this mid-labor! You and I are the only ones I've seen do this. Good luck, but I'm sure you've had those little babies by now. Can't wait to read more!! :)

I'm anxiously awaiting more news. First thing I did when I got to work this morning was check Dan's Facebook status! :-) Hang in there, sweetie!
