Friday @ 454am

All is well with Chelsea and Andrea.  We are all pretty tired, but Chelsea has been a pretty relaxed kid so far, and she is taking to breastfeeding like a champ. 

Because Andrea was in labor so long after her water broke it looks like we will be spending another night in the hospital so Chelsea can be monitored. 

We just weighed Chelsea and apparently she has list 1.96% of her body weights.  I guess as long as it isn't more than 5% in the first day we are good.  So far she has pooped four times and peed at least once. 

Andrea didn't need any stitches, and will hopefully recover quickly.

Baby is out

Baby is here.  10:54

1030am

We might have a baby making its way soon.  Andrea said she is feeling the pressure. 

1003am

We are going to try restarting the pitocin but only at a level of 1 so we can see how Chelsea responds. 

912am

Currently Andrea's uterus is being pumped full of saline and it appear like it might be helping.  Contractions appear to be happening more frequently and for longer. The question is are they stronger.   Right now Andrea has her eyes closed and hopefully she gets some rest, since she has been up for over 28hrs.  She normally get 8-9hrs of sleep a night so this is definitely taking a toll. 

826am

A quick recap since there have been a lot of people in and out of the room.  So we briefly discoursed the part that would lead to a c-section. 

For those of you asking, the amino infusion is putting saline into the uterus to provide some buoyancy. 

We are going to try the infusion, then bump the pitocin up and hopefully get the stronger contractions to push the baby down. 

The david take on things is that stuff isn't progressing well.  Chelsea is still up high, she doesn't like to be on her side, and she doesn't like pitocin, and Andrea isn't having strong contractions.  I feel like we haven't seen anything that is moving the ball down the field.
