Greetings from the Hospital

Well Madison, here we are in the hospital waiting for you to be delivered.  We got to the hospital at around 8p last night.

After a bunch of paperwork and labwork we finally got down to business and your mom got the dose of cervadil to thin her cervix.

Here she is sporting the lovely birthing gown.

We spent the night letting the cervadil do its thing and woke up the next morning around 730a.  Dr. Karney showed up and did her initial check up and much to our surprise the cervadil had done nothing to start thinning the cervix.  Apparently you are quite the large baby.  You could be pushing the scales at 9-10 lbs.  Yowza!  Unfortunately this means there is a chance that your Mom will have to deliver by c section, which is something she didn't want to do.

After the check up the nurses started administering pitocin which should jump start contractions.  Your grandma Penny also showed up to hang out.  Now that the pitocin is going Meghan seems to be having contractions on a regular basis so hopefully we're that much closer to seeing you for the first time.

I'll update this blog when I have a chance but I'm pretty sure your Mom doesn't want me live blogging her labor...

Love,
Dad
