It's going a little slower than it should

The Dr. is not excited about the progress of the baby. The baby is shutting down with the petrocin being put in, so the Dr. had to stop the petrocin and refill some of the fluid for extra cusion. If things do not go the way it should in the next few hours, they will have to consider a C-section. We're hoping he (the baby) gets a little more aggressive.

can't feel a thing

epidural is in and now we wait. Carter says she can't feel a thing, so now she's getting bored.

Broke the water

it seems like things are moving quickly, but the doctor assured us it would still be a while. They broke her water, and have her on oxygen for the the baby's heartbeat, he's still just kinda laying around. The epidural is next, so we'll have to wait to see what the boy wants to do.

quick numbers for Heather

shes about 3cm 90% efaced. Thanks for looking after the puppies Heather.

Doctor is in

The doctor just came in to remove the folley balloon, and is looking to break the water to help regulate the contractions. Dr. Adele means buisness. SHe's watching Walker, TExas Ranger for inspiration. Chuck Norris can help anyone through the pain.

I feel like I'm sliding down a bowl

Those were Carters words as she slipped into a pain killer euphoria. That lasted for about 15 minutes. The doctor should be in by noon to look at breaking that water. They just flipped Carter back over and informed her she couldn't drink any water. "You don't want to be vommiting and giving birth at the same time do you?" That pretty much convinced her she wasn't thirsty.

The baby is sunnyside up

Well the nurse came in and said the delivery is going to be a long one, because the baby is sunny-side up. I guess he's facing the wrong way. Giving her back pain. Carter just heard it was going to be a long labor and I think she shut everything else out. They just flipped her and are opening up the petrocin. We're just waiting for the doctor to come back in.

We're in the hospital

we got here at 7:00 a.m. I went and grabbed some biscuits and gravy in the cafeteria. If you're ever at Saddleback women's hospital on a monday, the biscuits and gravy are the special and they were sooo good. It's tough to find good biscuits and gravy. Wel the have the Petrocin (sp) drip in and said the party should get started in the next few hours. Everything is going well, the doctors said Carter looks good and the baby is in the right spot and healthy.

Asher's room

As requested these are a couple of pictures of Asher's room. You'll notice Carter would not allow a dog bed to be put in there. I believe this sends the wrong message to our puppies.

Going with Asher

After a good many discussions, I had to drop the desire to name our son Chaos and we have settled with Asher (it's biblical). He should be here Monday June 11th. (they're inducing, that's why I can say he'll be here Monday). The doctor said the boy loves the room service sooo much he just doesn't want to come out. Now that's an Ellingson if ever there was one. As per requests, we'll post some pictures of the room real soon. Thanks to everyone for the gifts, the puppies loved them.
