Still Waiting...

As you can see, we had some real excitement on Thursday night. Here was Brooke in the hospital hooked up to the monitor.



If you look close you can see a contraction registering on the bottom line of the monitor to right. The top line is the baby's heartbeat. It was lively and responding to the contractions, so at that time we thought we were hours away. This photo was taken about 5 pm and she had been having them regularly every 3-5 minutes since 11:30 am that day. Well, she’s still having them but they have not increased in intensity and in fact they appear to subside a little in the evenings. The water hasn’t broken so the reality is that we could still be days away. We’re home now just waiting. Brooke’s Mom is here with us and we’re glad for that. We just hope the big day doesn’t take too much longer. This baby appears to be stubborn. Wonder where it gets it from?

Stay tuned…
