No rest for the weary

Another long night last night. The recliner is not exactly 4 star. Well we have been started on pitosin again this morning at 6:30 so Cassi is (really has been all night) contracting again. She had prostaglandin gel at about 10 pm to help ripen the cervix. She slept good about an hour after the gel kicked in she said it was worse than the contactions she had earlier. She said it was a nonstop neverending contraction. So from 11 until around 2 she walked, sat, layed, hoped, but nothing seemed to help. She finally gave in and asked for some meds. Stadol, is what she got and it was the right stuff, for both of us finally got some sleep, brokensleep, until 6 am. So now we are waiting for cervix to be checked, get water broken, and get this rolling I am ready to see our little girl.... until later

I hope things can progress smoothly today and BGR will arrive in a "graceful" manner.

Waiting to hear about BGR entrance! My husband will sympathize with you on the not-so-comfortable recliner accomdations--he hates those things!
