2. A medium latex glove will not.
3. The visitor's chair is not very comfortable.
4. 10 blankets laid out in a stack on the floor is not very comfortable either - but is far more comfortable than the chair.
When the nurses took out the pitocin drip, they tested to see if there had been any dilation progress. There was none - not one bit of progress. Needless to say, this was a bit discouraging to hear. We talked...

Kimberly Elite Eldredge said hello to the world this afternoon at 3:32. She weighs 6.5lbs and is 18.75" long - and has a lot of dark hair on her head. She is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

It has been an interesting week for us. On Tuesday, Angela had a scheduled ultrasound and OB visit. The ultrasound indicated that Angela's amniotic fluid was a little low. Dr. Aycock put Angela on bed rest and told her to drink plenty of fluids in the hope that her fluid level would rise. On Thursday we were to return, and if the level of fluid had not returned to a safe level, she'd be induced at that time.Fast forward to today. Angela's fluid level dropped again, so we...
