# Ate some breakfast, on to a shower, and then for a change of pace.. More walking until 930. Then we will have some update goodness
# Dr. Conneley came in and decided to get things going. Prostaglandens hopefully will help get the process started.
# Remind me not to play a softball game before checking into the Hotel most uncomfortable chairs ever.
# Month seems to be doing okay, but the contractions are still constant. She is doing so well and all I can do is complain about being sore.
# Did a lot of walking around last night. Waiting for the Doctor to come within the hour.
# Up walking again after a few hours of rest for Mom. Rustyn is doing better and mom wanted to move around. Pretty much hurtin’ from softball.
