WAITING FOR BODIE!!!

So, here we are at the doctor's office on Thursday, March 20th, hoping to hear those most welcomed words, "Your baby is coming!  You are fully effaced, dilated to a 10, let's go have your baby!!"  Well, not today.  You are 75% effaced and dilated to a 2.  A little disappointed, but nevertheless, the heart rate was strong and healthy, so we will wait!  What else can we do?

Then on Friday, March 21st, the contractions were getting stronger and more painful.  For about four hours they were two minutes apart.  So we thought yipee!!  Let's go to a movie and then we will see what happens.  Telisa continued to have contractions all during the movie and experiencing quite a bit of pain and discomfort, so I suggested we go to the hospital and just have her checked out.  As you can see, it was lovely "Springlike"? evening in Cleveland.  After about two hours they sent us packing.  It seems it was false labor!  False Labor!  How can labor pains be false?
The next day Clay tried to show his support by pushing out his belly also.  Next, he tried shaking the baby out of her!  We are open for any suggestions at this point!  Today, Sunday, March 23rd is her due date!  Clay and Telisa are ready!!  Bodie, what is the hold up?
