As expected, first day of inductions and still no baby.

Sarah went in for her second induction at 5 p.m. They gave her double the dose, which unfortunately just doubled the intensity of the pain. She was a very tough girl and hung in there during the many contractions (one every 2 minutes lasting for approximately 90 seconds), however at 10 p.m. we went back to the hospital only to learn she was not in active labor (only the artificial labor that the induction produces). So they gave Sarah some great drugs and she is now sound asleep ready to start this again tomorrow.

We return to the hospital for round three of inductions at 7:30 a.m.

Thankfully this time around, as opposed with Nolan, Sarah is better able to cope with the pain. It obviously still hurts like crazy, but she is being brave and tough and I am very proud of her.
Nolan has been a great little guy hanging out with his “Gram” (as he calls her). However we think he knows something is up. We are sure, though, he will be excited to meet his new baby.

Until tomorrow — hopefully everyone has a great sleep.
