Update on Shannon/Suze (The Dregs)

[atysmee01]

Hey all,

She is at the hospital, finally on a pitocin drip.  Things are progressing quite slowly, so they expect to have very little else to report for a while.  She is having contractions, but nothing substantial so far.

I'll send info along here as I get it.  We're all anxiously awaiting the birth of the next Mini-Dreg!

YAYZ!!!!

AWWW  thanks for the update Rachel.

Please let her know we are all thinking good thoughts of the healthy fat baby and safe, fast and painless as possible delivery variety.   

And send her/them our love from her adoring fans.

Thanks for the update,Rach!
Sending good thoughts to Mom, Dad, and baby!

[Marietta Graziella]

Sending positive thoughts and energy their way.  Bringing life to the light is an arduous task but I know Suze is up to the challenge. 

Hugs to all those helping her along.

10 fingers, 10 toes...

I'm thinking she's going to do fine.

4:15 is my guess.

Good luck to her, hope it goes smoothly and quickly.

8:45pm Monday Update:

Pitocin dosage was increased, she walked around for about 30 min to help circulate the drugs through her system.  The contractions are becoming stronger and more painful for her, but she is still not in full, active labor at this time.

Frost and Chad are hanging out at the hospital, and I am just a 10 min drive away, so can be there in a flash.

More as soon as I get the next update!

Thanks for the update Rachel. 

The pitocin didn't work for me when we tried to force the bratty Girlchild out.


If they didn't already, tell Suze to ask if they'll break her water.  It doesn't hurt, and it seemed to help speed things along for me.   Then she won't have to sit there for hours on end being in pain, when that will be what they end up doing anyways.

I agree with Kate..
Break the water, that should move things along!
Good luck Suz.. may you have an easy birth!

Suze sent an e-mail just before midnight on Monday night:

"no baby tonight- drugs are stopped and I'm awaiting sleeping tabbies. tomorrow am we start again full bore- woot!?

after being on the drip so long there just wasn't hardly any progress in my cervix and while I *could* have bullied thru all night long, the process is looking to be over 24 hours.  I am exhausted already and anxiously awaiting the "all-clear" to head to sleep."

[Lord Figaro]

All our hopes and well wishes are flowing to her, hoping she gets to move things along.

[Kiss-me-Kate]

I am glad they let her sleep. 
Tell her we are all pulling for her, and all of us Droupie "Aunties" and "Uncles" hope today goes a lot better! 

[Phelyp, Lord Maydestone]

Best wishes and blessings on a speedy delivery today!

Oh man, sounds like a repeat of mine last year. LOL!

Lets see which one of us was in labor longer, then we can swap war stories.
