Well here we are sitting in hospital room B at the birthing unit in Mt. Graham Regional Medical Center. Ari is actually due on Wednesday April 27th, but with this being a huge 4 day weekend, we thought it would be the perfect time to have the baby. So we opted to be induced today. She's had to be induced with the other babies as well, her uterus must be just so hospitable. We think if we were to actually go till her water broke on its own, or active labor began, she'd probably go 2 weeks past the due date.
So far it's been slow going. The nurse gave her a sydotec to get her going, and then we walked around for awhile. She was craving Dairy Queen so I went and got her a blizzard while Ariel kept her company. Now our good friend, Erica Johnson, is here as her head nurse. She's still "almost at a three" but contractions are definitely picking up with intensity. We started at about 1:00, and then Erica gave her another sidateck at 7:00. We still wouldn't say she's in active labor. My guess is that the baby will be born somewhere around 11:00 am tomorrow. We shall see. . . stay posted!!
