Hi! Me again. I expect them to break my water here in another 1/2 hour to an hour! We've had a relatively uneventful morning. I wasn't having many contractions (same as usual) so my midwife suggested a low dose of pitocin. She just wanted me having some contractions before breaking my water. So at 11am they started me on 1 dose of pitocin (3 mL/hr). At 11:30 they upped that two 2 doses. I've been having lots of contractions since then, some even coming 2-3 minutes apart, but they are not strong yet. I'm still rating them a 1 on the 1-10 pain scale. I've had some minor cramping and back ache once in a while too. Just now at 12:30pm they upped the pitocin to 4 doses (12 mL/hr). We'll see if they change significantly or not. I just finished some lunch and now I guess we wait for the water breaking! That will be a new experience for me. They broke my water with Annika after I had the epidural so I couldn't really tell they had done it since I was all numb down there and stuff. I guess I'll find out soon what that feels like! Healthy baby and healthy mom - I just keep repeating that in my head. Just, please, let this day end with a healthy baby and a healthy mom.

Wooooow. Everything's in French! Cool. This waiting is torture. But, I'm sure your waiting is even more torture. I'm just so excited to meet the little guy! Love to all Froyums!
