Babywatch: Liveblog Part 6

15:41 Shhhhh

Everyone is asleep! More or less. I konked out first, a few times, I think. I was a little sleepy and everything was relaxed, so I wanted to get some Zs before everything went crazy again. I was out for a few minutes when there was a knock on the door and in came a fruit delivery. Shannon had sent us a fruit arrangement, which was very nice. Now I know why she was asking which hospital we are in. It’s a little odd because it’s so much food and jessie isn’t allowed to eat anything, but I appreciate it. I’m going to go nom on some chocolate-covered pineapples pretty soon here. After that, I tried to sleep again, but the doctor came in for another exam. I woke up for that. 4 cm, so continuous progress is being made, yay and hoorah.

After that final interruption, I did manage to sleep for a good half-hour or so and drool all over my pillow. Jess has been napping on and off. I don’t think she’s been properly asleep that much, especially because they like to keep her moving every half-hour or so, it’s supposed to help with labor progress. Mom Swanson has, also, taken her turn on the couch. It’s actually a pretty neat couch: each half of the couch pulls out into a long bed. I pulled out one half for me. Mom Swanson fits on the couch when it’s closed.

And other than those intriguing but unimportant details, there is, thankfully, nothing to report. Jessie continues to labor away under to comforting blanket of painkillers, Tyler’s heart rate is hopping right along like the happy little chappy he is, and there’s not much for us to do but wait until someone tells us to push.

Well...us....her, really.

P.S. I Just realized that if I time this right, I could make the announcement of Tyler's arrival post #600. Which would be cool, but I'm not going to try too hard.
