Micah's on his way - really, this time!
4:30 AM, 2/21/09 - We're here at the hospital, Nana, Papa, Shelle and me, Mumzeh.....Samandra looks good but exhausted, Shaun is nappy-haired, but had gotten some sleep....and Micah is looking for his way out. We all went into the birthing room and checked out the monitors depicting his heartbeat and the contraction waves...very cool.
4AM, 12/21: Samandra has begun to push. The doctor is on her way so it shouldn't be but a couple more hours before Micah is here.
10:30 PM, 12/20: After our false alert on Tuesday night, Samandra continued to have contractions. They were anywhere from an hour to 5 minutes apart. On Friday morning, we headed to the hospital at 3AM and were monitored for a while. Samandra was 2cm dilated and fully effaced, but after no further progress for 3 hours, they sent us home again. Samandra was pretty exhausted since she hadn't been able to sleep since Monday night, but was able to get a couple of hours after we got home. We spent today timing contractions and counting Micah's movements and at about 7PM, our doctor told us to head on in to the hospital. They checked Samandra again and she was then at 4cm so they moved us into a room. Samandra has now received an epidural and is at 6cm, so she's progressing smoothly. It won't be long before we'll have pics of Micah posted here! Keep checking back and we'll keep everyone updated.

Micah's on the way!!
OK, so, Micah faked us out. It's 8:15 and we're not going to the hospital after all. After contractions for about 5 hours (that I was awake for), Samandra stopped feeling them between 5 and 6 AM. We're not sure what that was all about last night, but whatever started seems to have been put on hold. We'll keep you posted!
Well, it's 3:22 AM and we've been tracking Samandra's contractions since just past midnight. They're under 5 minutes now and have been for a little over an hour but we're waiting them out a little longer before we head to the hospital. It doesn't look like it will be too much longer before we welcome Micah to the world! Stay tuned for more updates....

Micah's Nursery
We have added new photos of Micah's room. You can click on the slideshow on the right titled Micah's Nursery to view the photos.
We still cannot believe he will be here next week. The bags are packed and the car sear is latched in and ready to go. All we can do now is wait and see when God and Micah want the birthday to be. Thanks for all the prayers and we will keep you all posted these next few days!
