Update on "Amanda and the Great Pregnancy!"
Well, here is the story so far on Amanda and the birthing process on which she is participating on:
Wednesday
1855L.
Starts having contractions that are 30-60 seconds in length and 5 minutes apart. Darn right we got excited.
They last into late evening and sporadic in morning. Intensisty levels on scLe 1-10 are as high as a 6 at times.
Thursday
1030L.
She decides to get checked out to see what is our status with the actual labor. Go to base hospital and get turned into a cyborg for 20 minutes of monitoring. Then awesome Nidwife arrives.
Midwife does checkup; says Amanda is 1 cm dialated, 80% efaced (cervix ready for baby) and she could feel baby's head, meaning he is ready - just waiting for her body to be ready.
So, contractions were her body going into preperations for tv 'big game'
Says baby can be here tomorrow (Friday) or mid-next week. We go home :-)
Friday.
Mother-in-law is flying in.
More to come as it happens...

Wow! How exciting!! Here's the best piece of advice I can give you. When you start having contractions regularly like that change activities. Start walking around, take a hot shower, bounce on an exercise ball. If the contractions keep coming and stay regular that's a good thing. I'm so excited....call me right away guys!!!! We miss you.
have a healthy and safe delivery...
let us know more as soon as you can...
congrats...
