It’s close to 4:30 a.m. now, and I’ve been laboring all night. Contractions are 2 – 4 minutes apart consistently. The midwife around in the two o’clock hour, and now she’s sleeping on the couch while I continue to labor. A couple hours ago, my cervix was “paper thin,” but I was still only dilated to five. Baby’s head was still rather high, though not has high as before. Lots of goop and such.
Contractions are getting harder. I’ve never had a labor like this, so I have no idea what to expect. I’m typing in between contractions here. This kid has his own mind, his own gestation, his own labor. He is making himself known. I would like to hold him before dawn. Praying for just such a thing.
I’m up in the middle of the night feeding Caleb and couldn’t go back to bed without checking your blog first. I’m praying for you now.
Praying for you, Serina. Did so before bed too. It’s almost 9am now and hoping you have a baby in your arms or are almost there.
Thinking about you and wishing you a happy birthing day!
Thinking about you and hoping you are holding a bitty in your arms now!!
