8:50 PM, The night is getting longer...
BUT... There is GOOD news!
Mels reached a 9!

-This is nurse Trina... She is GREAT! We have had really good nurses and doctors!



---- 8:43 PM, We're getting closer! Mel just hit a 9 and is completely effaced! Our little boy should be coming soon.


---- 7:45 PM, I want to thank everyone for leaving comments! They are really fun for Mel to hear, they help keep her motivated so Please keep them coming! Thank you again.


---- 7:35 PM, No new pictures but we have some good news. Mel was just checked and she is at a 5+ and is 90 to 95% effaced! We found out that her contractions weren't strong enough to do anything so they upped her pitocin which is helping to move things along a little.






---- 6:38 PM, Mel isn't progressing very well so they have hooked Mel up to more machines to help watch after her and the baby. In twenty or so minutes we will know more about what is going on. She is staying in good spirits and trucking on! Keep her and the baby in your prayers.




These Grandpas look like they are having too much fun!

2:09, Mel was given her epidural.



Life is good again!

Birthday

I felt jealous that mel was getting the oxygen so i used it while she was in the bathroom.

1:30 PM, The baby started to move around so mel is now off the oxygen. She is at a four and the baby has moved down a little.


I wanted to show mel how thing were going to work.
Look at this great handle... you can pull really hard, I tried.

12:38, The baby wasn't moving so they put Mel on Oxygen.
Mom helping the baby move.


Mom sure loves us!
