We finally got moved to the labor room at 2:30 am. It was like a secret mission, they came in the night and gathered all of our things and we took off for the new room. Then they woke us up at 5:30 to take out the cervadel. Wendy was able to take a quick shower and of course straighten her hair. She was already having some contractions on her own. At 7 they started the pitocin and she was dialated to 2 cm. Everything was progressing as they expected. The midwife came in and broke her water, not a great experience for her.
She has had her epidural now and is resting getting ready for the action to come. Everybody here has been super nice to all of us. We will have a high risk team and neonatologist in the room during the birth to take care of Jordan as soon as he is born. The cardiologist will come soon after to do his evaluation.
Keep praying. We are hoping he will make his debut this afternoon or early evening.
Had to slow things down. Baby J was hiding from the monitors. Doing great now. Wendy's bp went down from the epidural but better now. She is still contracting on her own every 3 to 5 minutes. They will start the pitocin back up in 30 minutes or so and check her again and see what happens. She is resting now and he is doing great.
Thank you for coming here to support our family through this exciting but challenging period of our lives. As most of you are already aware, Jordan was diagnosed with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. We have set up this site to help keep our family and friends informed through the birth and surgical procedures of Jordan's life.
Praise God for his faithfulness!!
ReplyDeleteHey Newt,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sending me the link to the blog page. I am on pins like the rest of you, hoping, praying and waiting for the blessed event. I am so proud of how "our little Wendy" has blossomed into a beautiful woman! I am so proud of how she has blogged her experience and prouder of the fact that she knows GOD and that HE is in control of this situation. I have visited others on the blog site and I am so encouraged by the level of faith, hope and love that they all possess. I love the blog site also because it allows us to be update, almost immediately, on what's going on. I am praying, constantly that the delivery goes well for Wendy. I am also praying for all of you - that your physical strength is strong - as strong as your spiritual strength. I Love Ya'll. Mary P.
