Update from MUSC…7:30AM

Hard to believe that I’m able to update our blog from our hospital bed and even harder to believe that Mary Clare will be here in a few hours.

The doctors had a well thought out, well orchestrated plan, but it seems that Mary Clare is going to be like her sister and do things her way.

We arrived at the hospital at 6pm, checked in, and after a few hours of monitoring, a petocin drip was begun, which is a drug to help progression.

The plan was to begin the petocin, break my water at 6am and hopefully have her by lunchtime. After petocin was begun, my water broke, on its own at 2am, and I had quickly begun to progress, much to everyone’s surprise. The nurses stopped the petocin, and Mel and I got a few hours sleep. It is now 7:30am and they have begun the petocin once more…we’ll see how quickly she wants to arrive!
