Well, things should get going now, the contraction rate has increased, the intensity is increasing, a minor headache coming on and broken water.....
All in all she is doing well, the graph is now showing good bell like curves with the intensity levels significantly higher than the past hour... Still no tears or howling , that is a good thing in the husbands way of thinking:)
For the interested parties, dilation was only at 2 cm 45 minutes ago, but we hope that increase exponentially now.
Way to hang in there Anne! You can do it!
ReplyDeleteIt was great to talk to you, Annabelle! You sound like a woman in control and you're doing great! Don't worry, those first 4 cm seem to take forever but it moves faster after that and you will get there! (Don't be afraid to get that epidural if you want it, either--things are going to start getting pretty gnarly and you'll want to stay ahead of the pain and save some energy for the grand finale--I had to keep telling myself that you get the same prize at the end either way! ;)
ReplyDeleteAny way you do it, it will be over soon and you guys will be holding a perfect little baby. We love you guys and we're rooting for you!
Thanks for keeping us informed, guys! You are all 3 in our thoughts and prayers. Can't wait to see pics of the new babe!
ReplyDeleteHey Eric n Anne--
ReplyDeleteMary passed on the link. Takes me back to Benjamin's b-day!!! When the water broke, things started happening.
You are in excellent hands at the Hospital, and in the bigger picture. The UBC is cheering and praying, and God's watching over you too.
Excited to see her! I may stop in tomorrow as Scott and I will be in for youth group!!
Love,
T.
Keep up the good work Anne....Mini Miller will be here soon! Both of you take deep breaths.....will keep checking, can't wait to see pics!
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing no new news is good news and that things are starting to heat up! If that's the case and you're still checking the blog, hang in there girl! It hurts like hell but it will all go away once you're holding that little angel in your arms and see that little face. I'm sending you all my happy thoughts and bushels of thimbleberries. ;o)
ReplyDeleteYou guys are doing great! Hang in there, keep your eyes on the prize. She'll be worth every minute. ;o)
ReplyDeleteHi Miller family,
ReplyDeleteJust got in from working cows and thought there'd be a baby picture on the blog. Really soon, though, I'm sure.
I have to chuckle; the closer you get to baby-ness, the shorter the posts on the blog from Eric. The announcement will probably be ten words long....
Sending you love!
