04:38 Now we get to walk for an hour and then they'll check her again. #
06:00 Looks like this is early labor only. They are gonna check her a bit more, offer her some ambien and then send us home for now. #
06:38 At 2cm now. So we're staying. #
08:44 Fitted with IV just in case. Very regular contractions now. Walking around. Checking in every 30 mins. She prefers standing, so we stand. #
09:13 Baby's heart rate decelerating with contractions. Slight concern. Possibly just a slightly pinched cord. #
09:16 Two minutes between contractions now. #
09:21 Water broken. 6.5 cm now. #
09:30 Into transition now. #
09:40 Heart rate still droping from time to time. Trying another position. #
10:14 They put a heart monitor in the baby's head to get a better reading. Still having a hard time keeping rate up. Still at 7cm. #
10:22 Contraction. Nap. Contraction. Nap. Contraction. Nap. In 10 second intervals, or so it seems. #
11:07 I don't like this at all. Grr. #
11:25 Still 8cm. #
11:27 This is, literally the end of the 11th hour of labor and only 2 hours ofb sleep the night before. I'm sure Celeste will be grateful. :) #
12:01 She's taking a nice long nap now. It's nice to see her at rest. She's so beautiful. Baby's heart rate is strong. #
12:39 The epidural is really letting her rest between contractions. She'll be able to enjoy Celeste when the time comes. #
12:48 She's at 9cm. Petocin turning off for a bit now. #
12:54 Baby Heart rate too low. Petocin stopped. Some other drug to stop contractions. May not be working. Consulting with doctor. #
13:32 C section. They are preping her now. #
13:57 7 lbs 10.9 oz. 19 inches. #
14:50 Celeste is BEAUTIFUL. And so is Jess. Both are doing quite well. As soon as the baby gets her shots Jess can see her again. #
15:02 I keep trying to send a pic but t-mobile isn't letting me. Sorry. #
15:41 Check facebook for photo. Also, another plus. Celeste can one day say she was delivered by Dr finger. Oh yes. #
17:06 Jess is doing well. She'll be ready for visitors tomorrow. Give me a call before you come. #
00:29 Jess is now taking her first walk. We're very proud. And she brushed her own teeth. Tomorrow we master potty training. #
01:17 I just changed my first diaper ever. Ha. #
01:37 Celeste just had her first real meal. Going on 10 minutes now. #
