Day 2
Good morning... welcome to hour 29 of what is still considered early labor. Starting last night Beth is no longer allowed to read this blog or discuss its contents. Its discouraging, which believe it or not, slows labor. The good news is we both got some quality rest last night. That is really important because once we really get going, there is no going back, and definatley no sleep. So we seized the opportunity. Beth has an appointment at the birth center for a regular prenatal appointment in an hour, so we are really hoping it will be good news. (such as you are 9-10 centimeters and its almost time to push!) Anyway, at this point its most important that Beth hang in there emotionally, so prayers are greatly appreciated.

Hey Mark, it's Jenn Ware. This is the last time I can check your blog as we are leaving for the weekend and I won't be near a computer!
Well, enjoy the best day of your whole life, and congratulations on your little girl (whenever she chooses to make her appearance)!!!
I'm so excited for you! Good luck!
I can understand her discouragement. Labor SUCKS. Delivery SUCKS. Beth is lucky to have you & her parents & all the support & prayers from the people who love her the most. The 2nd she feels Willow leave her body & is able to hold her in her arms...the 29+ hours will seem like 2nds & will be WORTH all the pain she's endured. =) I promise. <3
we're headed to jersey...i was thinking, maybe this kid thinks you still live in jersey and that's why she doesn't want to come out...
just a thought...
seriously, tho... we're praying.
Loke... well said again!
Every contraction, every minute, is bringing you closer to the first time you get to meet miss Willow in person.
And the more rest the better! With labor and delivery anything is possible.
Woo hoo - day 2! Beth, we've got you covered in prayers out here in CA. Much love . . .
