Oh she is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Look at the cute nose!!!



12:26pm EST:

"Pictures coming soon hopefully. My mom is bringing my laptop. C-Section because she would not drop and her heart rate dropped to 80 and they couldn't stabilize her. I was also running a high grade fever and had not slept in almost 48 hours at that point"



4:08am EST:

Harper Elizabeth Via Emergency c-section. 7 pounds, 6oz, 19.5 inches, 9:45pm! Guy sends his regards!

7:41pm EST:

"6.5cm's!"


From 5:40pm EST:

While driving I got this:
"Started pitocin and it made the contractions nonstop. still stalled at 3cms. Got an epidual as the contractions never went away for an hour."

THEN I just got this:

"4cm's. epidural kicked in"


From 1:57pm EST:

"No change, just hanging out did more walking but it didn't help. They are going to check me and start me on pitocin. I'll let you know after I talk to the doctor"

From 11:18am EST:

"Contractions are not really getting stronger or close together. They have not checked me but I doubt i have dialated an more. They want me to start pitocin ASAP"

I asked her if she was going to go on another walk.

"In a little bit. I am going to go on another walk when Guy comes back from the vending machine".

From 8:45EST:

"Moved to Labor and Delivery. Water broke at about 1am (PST). Dilated 3cms but contractions are not really steady. They are trying to get me on pitocin but i am trying to get them to let me hold out and maybe get up and walk for awhile"

I guess all that walking at Comic Con this past weekend really got things moving for her!

I told her to walk around for an hour or 2 and see what happens and hold off on the pit. Since I never heard back, I am assuming she is circling the hospital :-)
