August 27th, Going Home

It is 0600 in the morning and Oliver is on his regular feeding routine. Today is "discharge" day from the hospital. Getting a little cabin fever but the feeling is quickly relieved by Olivers presence.

Oliver-John Augustine

He's here...7 pounds 11 ounces at 1056am, August 25th.

August 24th

We had our Antenatal testing at 1:45pm. Since we are a week over due, Heddy scheduled her induction for tonight. Our appointment at UCSF was set for 8:00pm. We arrived at the hospital and was graciously escorted to our Labor and Delivery suite. Heddys cervix was ready for the next stage in the induction process and she is now recieving "Pitocin" through an intravenous catheter. Contractions have been getting shorter through the morning and the pain has been increasing.
She recieved an optimal dose of pain medicine and to buffer the pain as well she can take a puff or two of Nitric Oxide "laughing gas" which was prescribed. Heddys water just broke. I am out of here.

Still Waitin'

Oliver has not made his final approach/touchdown/delivery/arrival. As you can see Heddy and I are still combing through the streets and living life as usual. We are one day past estimated time.
I really think Oliver likes the warm space in her belly and the fine meals Heddy eats day after day.
