Monitor mania
Here’s Jen’s belly all strapped with monitors. One is for the baby’s heartbeat,(which EVERYONE keeps saying looks Awesome); and the other is to measure the contractions.
Room with a view
Heres the limited view out our window… (can you tell we are just sitting around waiting…lol)
Paper Email Delivery!
We were surprised when the hospital volunteers came by a little while ago and gave Jen a paper with her name on it. It was an email wish from her cousin, that the hospital received on her behalf and printed it out and delivered it. Here’s a shot of it hanging up on our cork […]
Grip Tape Socks
I wonder if they sell these on Ebay? Sure enough they do… click here Someone TOTALLY stole these from their stay in the hospital and is now trying to sell them on ebay. Heres a shot of Jen’s fancy ones.
Breakfast
We both started this morning with showers and dried off with a dish towel. Haha. Anyway, now I’m down in the Cafeteria having an egg and cheese omlette, fruit cup, bagel and oj. Look yummy right? You know you are jealous.
Getting ready for the long day…
So the Doctor came in this morning and checked out Jen. Conditions are much more favorable than yesterday, so she ordered a start of pitocin, but not after Jen gets to take a shower and have a little bagel or something. Right now she feels great. She is actually drying her hair… lol Today she’s […]
Tomorrow
The doctor is taking a conservative approach towards delivery and since Jen is only 1.5 CM they are going to wait until the morning to break her water and get things started.
Today’s Pictures
Here are some of today’s pictures. (LOVIN that the hospital’s got WiFi…) Here they are, Click on the photos to view them larger. Sporting that fancy “Johnny”
Nap Time
Just had dinner with Aunt Marie and “Grandma-to-be Laurie” while Sleepy Jen took a little nap. Had a yummy buffalo pizza.
Sheepy Seinfeld
Sheepy is watching Seinfeld with us.
Normal Start
Doc said everything is coming along normally. It’s slow but not any more than a normal start to labor. So she’s not interested in pushing the labor along any faster because everything looks great as is. Jen’s barely feeling any of the contractions so she’s doing well. Here’s a shot of jen walking the halls […]
Classes
Here’s Jerome taking his online child birth class. LOL
Setting up the text message list
Here’s Jen setting up her official text message group list. Contractions are about 1:45 minutes apart. But Jen’s not really feeling much going on yet.
More contractions than we thought.
So Jen accidentally moved the fetal monitor and the lack of contractions was actually just a miss reading. She is getting a little tight in the belly but that’s about it. Of course she’s a superwoman and doesn’t feel anything, so who knows. Also grandma to be is here too. Lots of soap opera watching.
My stand in has arrived
I’ve gotta head out for a few minutes to the up a couple last minute things and Jens sister has arrived for a few. Nothing major happening yet.
