Waiting on Baby J

After 24 hours of being induced in the hospital, no baby. I was on pitocin for nine hours, as high as they go  on the meds for a few hours - the contractions were coming on fairly strong every 2 minutes, but is was all the pitocin -- not my body. Her head remained high.
I did not rest very much last night and was discouraged when this morning I was sent home.
I pray for patience.
This baby girl will make her appearance when she is good and ready, it seems.

Oh Michele, I am sorry. How disappointing. Rest up good today and hopefully she will make her appearance soon. Sam says, typical female, always late :) Hang in there. Much love, Shelli

I know how much you want that baby girl in your arms. And as you know in the end all of this waiting, discomfort, and pain is SO worth it! I will pray that you can get a lot of rest in the next couple days. Love you guys!!

The Sam comment is really funny. I saw Lissa last night and she bought a ring that we named the Baby Jansen ring. We were both so excited. I guess it is the Baby J + 1 (or more)ring. Healthy full term babies are such a blessing. Hang in there. Love you!

I hope it is soon and that you can rest while you wait. Maybe all of this trying will get her going and she'll come on her own. SOON!
Take care-
