Well, we made it through the night. I had contractions pretty consistently every 20 minutes throughout the night. Although I woke up for most of them, my sleep medicine really helped me catch a few minute naps between them. Craig was a trooper too. He did not get a lot of sleep, but did get a few hours of shut eye between all the nurse checks and me making it through contractions.
We met with my doctor this morning. My favorite doctor is on call today. She is letting me eat a light breakfast again. They have taken more blood and continue to check vitals, temperature, and tenderness in the belly. As long as there is no change, they are going to keep baby Hardin cooking. If anything starts to turn, they will induce immediately. My doctor seemed very positive with the progress so far and said she felt very comfortable if we had to induce today because we have bought so much time.
At this point, the baby is not really gaining weight, but just putting its energy toward developing and getting ready for the outside world.
We continue to lay and rest and hope things continue like this...The more relaxed I am, the lighter the contractions and more spread out. Thanks for the thoughts and prayers!
