Update on the Baby

Michelle and I made it through our first night at the hospital together. We both were able to get a little bit of sleep, but between uncomfortable beds and the constant care from the nurse and doctors I must emphasize the little part. Michelle is doing great. She responded well to the medicine they gave her to ripen the cervix, and only had to have two doses of it. She is now at 1 cm dilated and has been having a contractions at a regular interval. So, instead of giving her more medicine, they're switching to a balloon catheter. The balloon will give constant pressure until she is at 3-4 cm dilated and then it should fall out naturally. Michelle is on a clear diet and is looking forward to having some jello for breakfast.

Lots of love,

Bobby, Michelle and Matthew
