Baby Watch(2)

Well, Nathie is fine, but she has not had enough consistency in the contractions to say that she is in active labor. It's been a little rough on her because she is not getting much sleep. She was also getting anxious.

Today, however, the midwives came by and examined her and she has not been having those contractions for nothing! She is 4 centimeters dilated (when you are at 10 that baby is moving out!) and they say she is actually doing quite well. They feel that she is progressing nicely although the work has been spread out over a couple of nights. They told her this afternoon to have a glass of wine and a hot bath--to stop the contractions--and get some sleep. Things could kick in in earnest tonight or tomorrow night.

Exciting that Sara is arriving in LA tonight at 11:30 and will most likely make it for the birth! Looks like the bets are moving on into March!
