The Day Has Come!

The day has finally arrived. We were at the hospital Sunday night because Sara thought that her water broke. We were told that her water did not break and we were sent home. Frustated and sad we were sent home.

Well Sara had an appointment with the specialist today. When they did her ultrasound her amniotic fluid was low. The doctor said that we were going to have our Claire in 24 hours. Well they would not let Sara leave until they heard from her doctor because they said they may want her to head to the hospital and induce her. The doctor did not call her so they sent her home. About half way home the doctor called her and said that they wanted her to be at the hospital in 30 minutes. That was not happening because I had not even left work yet.

I immediately left work and started heading home......fast. So fast I got pulled over from the City of Milton's finest. That's right. The cop was actually very nice. I explained the situation and why I was speeding. I was doing 60-65 in a 45. It took me about 2 minutes to convince him why I was speeding and that I was not lying.

We got to the hospital about 3:30. It took them a while to get us a room but we got one and got set up. At last check she was dilated 3cm and 70% effaced. She is having contractions every 1-3 minutes but they are not strong yet. They have put her on pitossin and her contractions have started to get stronger as I type.

We are both very excited that it looks like Claire will be with us in anywhere from 4 to 12 hours. Please keep us and Claire in your thoughts and prayers.

Our love to all,

Jason and Sara
