Thursday, 8:55 p.m.
We're continuing to progress about as expected. The first pill helped to thin the Cervix and start the contractions. At around 8:30 p.m. the doctor gave another pill to help continue the process. Since they don't want Susan to eat much (and they need to control her blood sugar), they are going to start some fluids and insulin through an IV.
In around 4 hours they will start to administer some Pitossen through the IV. This should make the contractions more intense, which will increase the pain level.
The doctor is staying at the hospital tonight and will check in every few hours. It looks like Susan's labor will continue to progress throughout the night and we will reach the delivery stage sometime in the morning. Of course, that could change as the night goes on.
We appreciate your continued prayers and thoughts.
