38 Weeks 1 Day

Dear Cadence,

At about 5 am this morning Mommy was in so much pain! I woke Daddy up and off to the hospital we went. When we got there I was 3 cm dilated and my cervix was thinning out. The contractions were strong and about 2 mins apart. They admitted me and we filled out all the paper work and what not in between contractions.

At around 7:30 am Dr. Hulyk came in to the hospital to check me... I was still 3 cm, but your head was down a little more and he could feel the sack of waters coming down. He told us if things kept progressing, then he would think about breaking my water in a few hours. So after hours of contracting, walking, showers, baths, and sitting on the birthing ball.... my contractions SLOWED DOWN :( Dr. Hulyk came in again to check me and there was no change. He decided that breaking my water at this point was too risky and figured I should go home and rest.

So here we are, at home! Mommy and Daddy cleaned the house, feed the animals, walked the dogs and now I am going to try and have a nap! Hopefully within the next few hours we will be back in the hospital and you will be coming out. We love you Cadence.

Love Mommy

  2. So now that your water has broken lets hope she gets it moving again because she won't like sitting there all dry! LOL! I am wishing the best of luck for an easy delivery Amber! Can't wait to see you Cadence!
