Out Of The Petri Dish...Into the Fire: First Update on Cricket

Celabratory Society

Think of this as the most interesting delurking project you'll ever participate in. After giving back to others at the Celebratory Society, I have decided to participate in it myself. You can understand the project in full by clicking here, but in brief, the Celebratory Society is an online festschrift for a blogger--a way for you to tell me what my blog or actions mean to you. But this isn't about me--this is about you too. And I would love it if you returned to your own blog, started your own Celebratory Society post, added it to the main project list, and gave me the opportunity to tell you about...you. Here is my link to the project: Celebratory Society Post

First Update on Cricket

HI all,
I know that you are all waiting but there ISN'T MUCH TO TELL YET.
I swear.
I've been in touch with our girl all day:
at the ER at about 11:30 or so , she was 3-4 cm dialed and 80% effaced.
2pm they started Pitocin
by 5:45 or so, there still wasn't much happening. If they turned the meds down, the contractions would slow down too...so there was talk about epidurals and a c-section if need be.

But it's now 7:48 EST and I haven't heard another thing. I know that all of you are keeping her in your prayers and thoughts and I know she APPRECIATES that. She's excited and so ready to be a mom.

if I hear anything else before morning, I'll update again.
