Sheilathetank is in Labor!!

[Deleted]

It's go-time!!! Sheila's water broke this morning at 10:15 eastern! She just got settled into her room. Blood pressure is slightly high and heart rate is up (of course it is, it's baby time!). Other than that she is good!

Leave your love for SheilaTheTank here and she or I will update in this thread!

Update 2:30 central: she's watching the races and they've started the Pitocin to help her contractions progress.

Update 6:30 central: Mr. Tank says she is good and resting (and enjoying the epidural!). Things are progressing slowly, though and they may be there for quite some time...

Hi everyone!

I am trying to get Sheila to sleep and where I would sleep is currently covered by my mother in law and I am wide awake so I figure I would give you an update.

We finished watching the race about 6:30 and they have started the epidural this afternoon. She is dilating slowly so now it is a waiting game. She is in high spirits. I am trying to keep her mind on funny things. My MIL is all over the place tell her how big her contractions are and taking about when she was in labor and just buzzing around like crazy. She apparently is driving back tomorrow before 4PM to work so I am not sure why she drove all the way down here just to leave again. Anyway I am glad she is here. She is making DW feel a bit better. Now DW if asleep trying to sleep in the bed and my MIL is on the pull out bed so I know she sleeps before driving back.

I am out in the lobby by the TV trying to go over some things and making sure there is nothing to worry about when we go home. I think we are in for the long haul. I will try and fill you in but at this point it is just me, my laptop, and a book as long as she can sleep. I will check in on her in about 20 minutes and every hour and try and keep you posted.

Keeping my fingers cross she comes before midnight
