The plan for tonight

We spoke with Stephanie's OB/GYN a few minutes ago. Here is the current plan: at 10 PM they will do another exam to see if the Cervidil did its job. Often the answer is no, in which case they repeat it. That would be another 12 hours so would take us to the next morning. If, on the other hand, they are happy with the condition of her cervix, they would start pitocin tonight, which could get exciting. But not necessarily. If the do another Cervidil we expect a very slow night.

We've been trying to rest in case we are kept up all night. Not easy in a hospital because various doctors and nurses keep visiting and intercoms blaring. But we're fine and feeling well taken care of. Despite the bumps highlighted in this blog, we are very impressed with the quality of the doctors and nurses here.

The snow was impressive for a few minutes but has died down now, there is a light cover on the ground maybe a quarter to one half of an inch. Nothing to worry about.
