Babywatch Update

This is Jeanne -- Cary and I are in charge of updating the blog now. Alyssa is now 5cm dilated; her contractions are regular, about 3 minutes apart, lasting about a minute or two, and getting stronger. Sue, her midwife, feels that she's doing a lot better with the hydration that the IV is providing. The baby has moved to Station 0, which is good progress. Her heartbeat is strong, and Alyssa is doing well, with the help of Jeff and Alyssa's friend Eliecia. The nurses are very nice and helpful, and respectful of her birthing plan. For you life group members, Alyssa is loving the cornbags.

We're off to bed (late on this side of the pond) -- check your e-mail! ...And you know that 'important news' doesn't only mean actual childbirth, right? I also want to know if I should be particularly worried, or particularly excited about anything!
