Quick Labor Update:

i have to be quick as i am on my way back to the hospital. the cervidil (cervix softening gel to get things going) cramped me up so bad last night that i was CONVINCED i was in labor. the cramps and contractions were 3-5 min apart for about 3 hrs and we went to the hospital but they said the cervix was still at 1 or 2 and thick and they sent me home. i lost it! i sobbed because i was in so much pain already and here they are telling me its nothing and to go home. the cervidil caused constant cramping so it was hard to tell what was what. this am i went to the dr and he said im at 2cm and still thick at about 45% and talked to us about the risks of having such a big baby. he went over the risk of the baby getting stuck and the option of scheduling a c-section instead. we think going ahead with a second dose of cervadil this afternoon at 3 is the best bet, and if i end up with a c-section later then that's how it goes. im just worried about the baby's head being delivered and then not getting the shoulders out, but i have to keep reminding myself how rare that is and that hopefully they'll notice something first and God will keep watching over us and keep us all safe.

i'm on little sleep and very freaked out about going through the cervidil pain again all night tonight. please keep me, the baby, and aaron in your prayers!!! i'll post as soon as i can but it might not be for a couple of days.
