Waiting For Baby D



Today was Danielle's due date and she went into the hospital this morning to be induced. Not much happened until 9am. They put in a cervical dilator to help soften the cervix. They left that in place until 9pm when she was 90% effaced, but still only dilated to 1cm. So about 9:30pm they started her on the pitocin. When we left over an hour later she was getting some contractions and they were perking up. She still hadn't had her epidural. The nurse said she probably still won't have the baby until morning. We left to go to bed and Danny is staying there with her.

She is doing very well. We love her tons. Can't wait to see baby girl Dunlap. Nine letters to her name. Three syllables. An older name. Still a mystery to all but the Danny's.
