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.
