Early Labor

So sorry to have given you all a false alarm the other night, but this labor stuff is tricky I'm learning. In our doctor's appointment on Thursday we learned that I was definitely in early labor, but this could go on for a week or so. She told us that now that we have a threshold for how intense the contractions will have to be to make me dialate, we can guage the intensity of labor from there. If we haven't had a baby by our next appointment next Wednesday, she said we'll definitely be throwing around the idea of inducing.

I should've known though after seeing my sister go through the slowest dialation process known to man that I was going to have a tougher time with the centimeter spread than normal people. Welp, now we know though.

I've continued to have contractions since Wednesday evening, but Tyler and I have decided that unless my water breaks or the contractions are bringing me to my knees in pain, we'll avoid another trip to the "observation room". We're going for admittance to a cooshy labor room next go round.

On a happy note, our friends Meridith and Jason officially had their little boy Wylder Paul Smith yesterday via C-section. Wylder's heart rate had dropped to 80 bpm which prompted the doctor to get him out ASAP. Once in the world, he was happy and perfect so it was definitely the best decision on their part. He's gorgeous and looks a lot like both parents. You can see pics at http://mustemote.tumblr.com.

Keep us in mind over the next few days, pray that Price decides he would like to see us soon!!
