We went to the doctor this morning for yet another realization that Lindsey just isn’t progressing well. Drew is position right on her sciatic nerve which is a nerve that runs from the small of your back down the back of your leg. This is causing her so much pain that she often feels paralyzed. It’s been pretty frustrating because there is nothing I can do and there isn’t much she can do either but just sit there and tough it out. So we went in today pretty upset and on edge. They checked her and yes, she hasn’t progressed much at all. Maybe a finger tip of dilation. Thinking that we weren’t going to end up going in until next week, the doctor came in and told us to come in tonight to start Lindsey on a medicine that will help ripen her cervix. Then, tomorrow morning they will start her on patocin to begin the contractions. If all goes well, they may break her water tomorrow morning and hopefully have him tomorrow afternoon. We weren’t expecting her to tell us this at all so it hit like a brick wall. It’s exciting but at the same time, scary as hell.

I have come back to work to make sure everything is wrapped up here so I’m not leaving anything undone.
Lindsey is officially on leave now and is at home resting preparing for what is to come in the next day or two. So the time has come. We are finally here. I’ll post again tonight to let you know what’s going on. Wish us luck and if you would, add us to your prayer list.
