We arrived at the hospital at midnight on Sunday. Our nurse Kelly gave Nancy something to help induce her. It produced some contractions but by morning they had waned. Nancy said she didn't realize she was having contractions to which the nurse replied, "Those are the best kind!"
Around 8:00am I discovered that the hospital has wifi internet access and will post any news here as soon as I can.
Dr. Caskie arrived around 8:30am and started another process for inducement. She said this may take a while and she doesn't expect much to happen until tonight or possibly tomorrow. She's trying to do everything she can to induce a natural birth (is that an oxymoron?).
Nancy has been napping on and off which is good because she didn't get much sleep last night. It's hard to sleep solidly when the nurse comes in every 30 minutes for something. I guess it's good practice for parenthood.
Our day nurse Valerie said all the delivery rooms are full. She said whenever there's a storm, they get a lot of deliveries. It's the only old wives' tale she believes about babies being born and she believes it has to do with the barometric pressure dropping.
