Halftime
I just got off the phone with people in the room. Things are going well and on schedule.The first step of inducement is over and now everyone is getting ready for phase two – hormones. The hormones will help ripen the runway for takeoff (…in layman’s terms of course). The experts do not want Alison getting out of bed once she receives the hormones because they want to keep a close eye on the baby. So until the second half gets underway Alison is taking advantage of the ‘free time’ by taking laps around the room, and eating frosted flakes.
Jeremey is taking advantage of the free time by eating some Papa Johns. (We love ya Jer… save a slice for me!)
The professionals say that things will quicken up once the hormones take effect, and we might expect Haven to make an entrance by morning.
The worst contractions are yet to come for Alison (don’t worry she isn’t reading this post), but she performed well in the first half. With a large cheering squad of grandparents, a team of experts, and fans from the internet she’ll make a good run in these final hours.
I was able to read the comments so far to the room and they were enjoyed by all! As you probably have noticed, I have been given the responsibility to make updates as soon as I get them. If you feel like I am leaving anything out don’t be shy to comment about it.
Perhaps now is the time for you moms to share your sympathy stories, or you dads to give your words of wisdom for what Jeremey should NOT say to Alison during labor.
Meanwhile, things are going as well as they can at the moment.
Keep up the good work team!
