Pretty sure my water broke around 7:30 and contractions are coming, but not super regularly. Maybe every 10ish minutes? Going to the hospital to contractions
*****
11:00 update – water definitely broken, contractions 4-8more minutes apart. But… my blood pressure is high again. Boo! 120/90s. We’re headed out to walk the halls for a while!
*****
12:15 update — despite effacing more and baby moving down, dr says I haven’t dilated enough and wants to start pit. I asked for a delay of 2the hours and to reassess then and she said I either accept the pit or get discharged. Kind of (i.e. super super) annoyed right now!
*****
2:30ish update – contractions picked up drastically and suddenly. I ended up telling Tahd to get the nurse to check me and give me drugs!I am 6.5 and ended up with an epidural. But no pit! 
feeling good now!
*****
4:30 update – 8cm, started small pit drip to encourage things to move along, and I’m good with that. After the debacle with the doctor, I requested to switch my care to a midwife, and they agreed. My midwife and I talked about knitting; she’s making the most amazing scarf out of some super cool yarn! (BTW, this is Tahd posting for Heidi)
*****
9:15 update – (Tahd writing for Heidi again)… Isla arrived at 6:40; she’s amazing… 
Yay! We are praying for you. I hope it goes smoothly and you get to meet that beautiful baby very soon.
its 12:32pm and reading your post. Trusting and praying that God will intervene so no pit is needed. God is faithful to bring you this far He will not forsake you Heidi.
Sending you my love. What a miracle your about to witness-Beautiful Isla!
Lots of love and strength for you today!
