Still Waiting for Caroline; Wait is finally over for football!

So it is Thursday night, and Caroline is still holding tight. Tammy is still having occassional contractions, but nothing consistent. We even went on some long walks and ate spicy food today to no avail.

Tammy goes back to the OB tomorrow, so we should get an official update on her "statistics." Stay tuned for tomorrow's update...

In an unrelated update, the College Football season starts tonight! Praise God! The period of months between the NBA Finals and the start of college football is hands-down the most unevental time of year (at least for those of us not into MLB). To celebrate the start of the college football season, we bought Bekah a Gator jersey! Pics will come after this weekend when she gets to sport her new Gator outfit when the Gators beat Hawaii in the Swamp!

Waiting...

Last Friday, 8/22, Tammy had her 37th week visit to the OB/GYN - supposed to be a routine weekly visit leading up to her due date on 9/13. Well, surprise, surprise! Tammy was 3 cm dialated and 50% effaced. I'll spare you the details on the compliments that the Dr. gave Tammy on her cervix, but needless to say, the 9/13 due date was looking highly improbable.

On Saturday Tammy had irregular but frequent contractions - they weren't "painful" but they were "uncomfortable."

On Sunday the small contractions continued although Tammy got some rest and did her best not to bring the birth on just yet. The Dr. wanted Caroline to wait at least until 38.5 weeks.

Monday was a non-event...the only time the contractions were significant was after Tammy did some relatively heavy lifting after shopping.

Stay tuned - Caroline is getting ready...
