While we all wait...

Things are going much slower than I expected. They decided to use a different drug than Pitocin to try to start labor more naturally as they felt it was better for both the baby and I. It seems to be working. I'm having contractions about every 5 minutes that are a somewhat painful. An hour or so ago they weren't really painful, so I know something is happening. If things don't continue progressing with this drug, they will eventually use Pitocin and/or break my water. We will post when we have more news...or if lots of time goes by, we'll post to let you know how things are going.

Our room here is wonderful. Because it's an end room, it's a lot bigger than the other rooms. The staff has been great. The food leaves a little to be desired, but it is a hospital. Thankfully we brought some of our own food, and starting tomorrow we have friends bringing in dinners. Here are a few pictures taken in and from our hotel room this afternoon.

Sporting my cool hospital pants.


















This afternoon's "snack". So, it looked like chocolate soup. Nope. Red bean soup. I almost didn't even try it. I'm glad I did. It was about half sugar and very, very yummy!


















We have passed time by playing games and watching movies.
