We arrived at the hospital yesterday evening to get this show on the road!!! The car ride was so surreal. It dawned on me that I was actually headed to the hospital TO HAVE A BABY, that I am going to be a Mom...and scarier yet, David will be a Dad! I kept thinking, "OHMYGOSH, this is all really happening!" As I was having this minor freak out, my mom just looked at me cooly and said, "You've had nine months to figure this out." Yes, I know mother. :)

We found our room, settled down, and began the admitting process. I was given my first pill at about 6:15. David and my Dad arrived shortly thereafter.

| Getting started! Before the IV's and monitors! |
I received my a second pill at 8:15 and a third at about 2:00 a.m. This morning at about 9:00 Dr. Santiago stopped by to check on me. She said the medicine worked beautifully and that I was 3cm dilated and 60% effaced. They have now started the pitocen to keep my contractions regular.
The best news we've heard this morning? THAT WE'LL MOST LIKELY HAVE A BABY SOMETIME THIS AFTERNOON! ;) Ohhh, we almost can't contain our excitement!!!
We'll keep y'all posted!
