Baby Squee

We made plans Friday, and I flew up Thursday morning. Got here about 11 am yesterday.

simplydorei really felt it would be this weekend, specifically Sunday.

Edit: Bah, was I loopy and in a hurry yesterday. That was supposed to be flew up SATURDAY morning. The plan was to *stay* til Thursday. roflmao

She started laboring last night. :) Membranes ruptured early this morning, around 5-ish. We're at the hospital, and she's laboring really well.

Unfortunately, there was a lot of meconium. She's currently getting an internal fetal monitor, so that she can move around a bit more and try to get labor going stronger and more quickly. They're concerned about the meconium level and wanting to monitor baby. We're going to do our best to get it going swiftly - as it seemed to be doing when she was up moving.

Please send lots of health and quick birth energy this way. She's currently about 3 cms, and now we're about to do some more moving and walking. Hopefully

baby_squee will be here soon! All prayers and reiki are very gratefully appreciated by mom & dad.

Current Location:New Jersey!
Current Mood: excited

Most certainly happily sending. Sounds similar to my Bean's delivery and Michael emerged whole and healthy.. as will this little one! :) xoxo

Thank you! You were very correct. Mom & baby turned out just fine, though I am reluctant to post any birth story or anything until either they do or I talk to them about it. LOL I thought it was just a wonderful birth, though.

Thank you! I did pass that on last night. How did her birth go? Kelly mentioned that she was due a few weeks after her.

She had a lovely home birth that went great. She was very surprised to have the baby this early, and on the same day as an lj friend - funny how that stuff works out, huh? We have another mutual lj friend who was due on Oct 31 who still hasn't had her babe yet!

That's very cool! I don't think I know her, but please pass on my many congratulations.

Hope the other lady has just as wonderful a birth!

Thank you so very much! I'm glad that lots of good energy was flowing her way. Baby and mom both ended up being fine and doing wonderfully.

lol - How does it beat Fl? Florida was very fun, too. :) The only difference that I can tell is that I got the bonus this round of trying (my first ever, actually) a genuine Philly cheesesteak. It was as yum as everyone said.

Thank you so much for the energy and good wishes! All went well, and it was a lovely birth. I don't want to share too much of their birth story without discussing it with them (and letting them get to first!), but I don't think she'd mind if I told you a little. She ended up stalling and not really getting past 3 cms. Because of all the mec, she finally had pitocin, too. That stuff sure gets it going, though! The birth was fairly fast after that, and really beautiful. I'm glad the baby was so perfect. :)
