Good morning from the Johnson City Specialty Hospital! I have no doubt that this will sound more cheery than either of us feel at the moment, but oh well :) We have managed to find an unsecured wireless network to use to update this thing so we'll try and do it as often as we can while we stay here!
So last night, we got admitted, we consented to everything, and then we found out that someone should have told us to eat a good meal before coming in. Surprise surprise. Because after they gave the Cervidil apparently, I can't get out of the bed or eat for a few hours to make sure it didn't throw me into labor. Thanks to LeAnne and Stacie for coming by, it was nice to have visitors to help keep me distracted, because they didn't even START the Cervidil until 8:30 pm. Leslie also got into town at the same time so she stayed will until 11:30 or so hanging out laughing and eating and making a plan for the day. Well, so at 10 pm they declared it safe for me to eat and my fantastic husband ran out and got food. At that point it was more fun, but I started losing it around 11. They gave me an Ambien at midnight but between then and 5 am I slept maybe 2-3 full hours.
I am having contractions, or so the machine says... I'm not really feeling any pain or contracting so I'm fine with that! So now we're both up and just waiting for the next thing. We're exhausted and may sleep till the doctor comes at 7ish. Jules, the doctor coming today is Dr. Talley-Horne - yay!

That's the scoop so far! Pray for my labor coach. He's such a great sport, but I need him to get plenty of rest.

Lots of love - David & Ali
