Cross your fingers and send up quick labor vibes
Katie's been having contractions for the past 2 hrs that are 5 mins apart but only last 45 seconds. I'm hoping this is the start for her... Josh of course wants to head for the hospital NOW. lol
I've got her walking and drinking lots of water, and don't dare tell her that as uncomfortable as she is, she could still stop and wait several days since she's stil able to walk and talk normally through her contractions.

Josh finally insisted they head for the hospital. * wont be surprised if they get sent back home, but he's so stressed and is supposed to leave in the morning for work again for the week nearly 2 hrs away, so I think he's hoping to WILL this baby to be born tonight. lol
I hope he's right... and her contractions hadn't slowed down any, but having had 3 of my own, I'm not convinced she's quite ready for the hospital yet. The baby has dropped and for someone who's only gained 13 lbs, she's got quite a package there! I took this pic earlier today when I had her out walking with me. Katieflowers.jpg

Katie and Josh opted to come back home for a few hours, so are on their way. She's 100% effaced, dilated to 3 and still having contractions, but not terribly hard ones yet. The hospital gave her the option of staying or leaving. They told her it will be a long wait if she stays; but that she will most likely be back there in the morning.

Oh my... things are progressing and the hormones are kicking in!
Katie was here a bit ago and she's having considerably harder contractions now. She was obviously in pain, so Josh and I both turned to look at her and nearly got our heads bit off for it! LOL The hospital has 4 midwives, and you end up with which ever one happens to be on call when you go in. Of course since Katie likes 3 of them, it's the 4th one (who she doesn't like) that's on call tonight and tomorrow. Ironically she is the one who delivered Katie 20 yrs ago and Greg chewed her out back then. lol

Wow, Tink how exciting!!!! Keep us posted when you can!!!
They use midwives at the hospital!!??? I've never heard of that. Here I think only doctors deliver at the hospitals, and midwives deliver for home deliveries. Sorry she does not like the one on call. It's kinda cool though that the one who delivered her will be delivering her child. Wishing you the best and that all goes very well!!!!!!!!!!!

My niece had both of her kids with a midwife in the hospital. She loved it! I hope all is going well, maybe even over for her now! Can't wait to hear the details!

Here only midwives deliver and doctors step in if there is a major problem.
Good luck Tink is this your first grandchild?.

This is my 3rd grandDAUGHTER. lol
Summer Rose was born at 11:46 am today. She's 19" tall and 7 lbs 11 oz. She has us all totally infatuated already. I got to attend her birth which was pretty amazing. Both mom and baby are doing great.
