At the Hospital!!

Everyone hang with me for a sec because this is by first blog post. Thats right the husband is updating the blog.

So last night at midnight Traci's water broke and some small contractions started. While i was able to get some rest she was not. At 5am the contractions were about 5min apart and we headed out to the hospital. Now for those who don't know already, Clara has been quite shy whenever others are checking her out. So it made since that the contractions stopped once we got situated in the room.
We were able to catch a little bit of sleep before we needed to move forward with some way of getting Traci's body back on track. You see once the water has broken it is ideal for the baby to be born around the 24hr time fame. Seeing how we had plenty of wiggle room we opted for one dose of a med Cytotec [spelling]. This helped her body start contractions again and we walked around for a couple hours.
After a while it was decided that it was great the contractions were starting up again, however they we're not quite strong enough to make the changes we needed to happen. This brings us to where we are right now. A very slow Pitocin drip was added in order to work with the contractions that were already taking place. The hope is that this will increase the strength of the contractions and allow Traci's body to pick up the pace.
Currently Traci is trying to get some sleep to prepare for the rest of tonight. That is if i can get her to stop looking at the contraction plot on the monitor. She is such a curious cat!
I can definitely say that this is not what we had planned, however we have seen God work in this situation and look forward to what he has planned for us down the road. He has allowed us to clearly see the direction he has wanted us to go with every turn of this labor and we know that as we trust in Him he will watch over us.
Please pray for safety, strength (spiritual, physical, mental), and endurance as we continue with this miracle in waiting. - Jason
