We arrived at the hospital around 8:30 this morning, determined not to leave with out a baby. We had to be put in an exam room for the time being, waiting for a real l&d room. The doctor checked Melissa and she was measuring a good 2cm and 70% effaced. Melissa received the oxytocin around 10:00 a.m. It is now 2:00 p.m., the doctor checked her and she was now 2-3 cm and 80% effaced. The doctor then broke her water and gave the order for the antibotic. Melissa is in considerable more pain now since the water has been broken. I guess it is time to into comfort husband mode and help her with whatever she needs. I will update when something more happens.
