Tuesday - We recieved the call at 5 am to come in at 7am to be induced. Though Alli hadn't felt any contractions, when she was hooked up to the moniter it turns out she was having small ones at 3 minute intervals. With this discovery, we decided to skip the cervidil and go straight to the pictocin. It wasn't long before Alli was having regular contractions between 3 and 5 minutes apart. Dr. Holtzman came in at 1pm for another exam and after reviewing Alli's progress, decided it was time to break her water. Within and hour of her water breaking, Alli was having intense contractions at 2 minutes apart. Call in Mr. Epidural!! The subsided quickly and Alli was able to rest while Ladonna did some knitting and I worked on the computer and tried my luck at the Rubik's cube. By 1am Alli was dilated to a six but showing no other signs of progress.
