We went out for dinner last night around 5:30 with a friend and began waiting and waiting for the phone call to come to the hospital, our bed is ready! We waited at the restaurant until Hope couldn't sit there any longer. I told her that as soon as we left and got back to our friends house they would call. Sure enough, we literally pulled in his driveway and they called telling us to come in! So we got into our room and about 5 nurses swarmed Hope and started poking, prodding, sticking, questioning and who knows what else. As soon as they swooped in they were gone. It was a whirlwind 15 minutes, but there we were, alone in the room, awaiting what the next 24 hours had in store for us. We watched "Waking Ned Divine" last night and Hope slept through most of it...so that was good. She slept fairly well in her bed last night. I say in my chair tossing and turning the whole night realizing what the next 25 years of my life was going to be like. The nurses came in every two hours two check Hope's blood pressure, ect. They have been very kind here and very accommodating to all of our needs. They are great. They finally started Hope on Potassin (the drug used to induce labor) at 6 am this morning. It will probably be another 10-12 hours before we have any really exciting news. So we continue to wait, pray, and take in this amazing experience. I will try to keep you updated as the day progresses!
