So about 5 o'clock this afternoon Am starts having contractions...REAL CONTRACTIONS!!! They were about 10 mins. apart, but we didn't think anything of it considering she had so much false labor this last week. About 7 o'clock, they started getting closer in the 5-7 min. range. We put off calling for a little while and finally Am called around 8:30. Dr. Beatty said to come on in and see where we were.
We got to Rex and figured that Am would be somewhere around 4 cm. if we were lucky. The sent us to triage and the nurse was about to get Am set on the machine, when Am had a contraction...A REAL BAD CONTRACTION!!! They nurse at that point decided to check Am. The look on the nurses face said it all. Am asked her is she was 3 or 4 cms. The nurse said, "Try 8! We're getting you to a room now!" So here we are. We're in the room and Am just got here epidural and the baby should be here soon. We'll keep you posted. Pray, pray, pray.

How exciting! I've been checking your blog everyday this week for news. Just so happened to check today at just the right time to pray! Glad this one will be a quick labor experience! Praying for you and can't wait to hear when little Hickman arrives! -Kristin Kocher
