Well, today has been full of ups, downs, blessings and disappointments. The Pitocin does not seem to be agreeing with Becky today. Since the last post, we have met some amazing new people, had our epidural fail, and had more of the Pitocin induced really long contractions followed by more of the smaller contractions. We ended the morning attempt to start by 9:00 am. From there we decided to give Becky's body a break and make another attempt this afternoon. The plan for this attempt was to try the Pitocin until 10:00 tonight and decide if we would bail to a C-section. So, we started around 4:00 this afternoon and well, we had more of the 6 to 8 minute contractions so we called an end to this a few minutes ago. We were not seeing any progress at all so this way Becky will be able to eat something, take a sponge bath, and sleep a little before our 8:30 C-section slot. So, third times a charm...
Tomorrow morning will be busy but I'll see what I can do to get an update up mid-day.

ReplyDeleteWe will keep praying! And we'll definitely be praying at 8:30.
ReplyDeleteThe third time is the charm!! Becky, Gene and Andrew-you guys spend some special time tonight together before the big day tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteYou gave it all and tomorrow you will come out of the gate with your running shoes on with the 08:30 c-section.
My prayers are with you always and with them I am by your side ever moment.
Love,
Paula
I know you are both exhausted by this point. The long awaited delivery is upon you and your lives are about to be forever changed and blessed. I am keeping you all in my prayers and am checking in on the blog and Facebook every few hours. Can't wait to hear the next update and see pictures as soon as you can. Tell Becky she has prayers being sent from Kentucky!!!!
ReplyDeletePoor Becky!!! jeez-a-loo!! Going thru labor is hard enough- and she has gone thru so much and still no baby!! My goodness!!
ReplyDeleteWe are praying for all to go smoothly and quickly!
Wyatt's family and his blog readers are praying for you- www.wyattjameskoger.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update. I can't believe Becky is going through so much. Just goes to show you what a fighter Andrew already is--he knows he likes it right where he is and he has no plans of coming out here on his own!
ReplyDeleteHugs to you both. We'll be thinking of you at 8:30

ReplyDeleteWOW, what an ordeal! Andrew is sure going to owe mommy big-time later on for all she is going through to get him here! Seriously, I hope you can rest tonight and we will certainly start sending up more prayers for you in the morning.

How exciting! I have been praying for you all day. So happy to get the update that all is well. I hope you both are able to sleep well tonight. It's the last full night sleep you will get for a long , long time! :). My prayers will be with you in the morning.
ReplyDeleteWe'll be saying tons of prayers at 8:30! Hopefully Becky will be able to get some rest tonight.
ReplyDeleteI have been following this Gene in the last days here.. I really have you guys in my thoughts and sent this along to one of my best friends growing up and she is a minister to have you guys in her prayers.
ReplyDeleteTonight will be the last night you will be able to get some rest for a while...PLEASE sleep! You'll need all of your energy for the CDH Roller Coaster that will begin tomorrow morning.
ReplyDeleteMany thoughts and prayers coming your way as you begin this bizarre journey.
Love,
