This is a slow, slow game for Ms. Lily but she's making some progress, all on her own. Right now she's taking a much deserved rest because she was awake all night with contractions and I'm at Jessie's house to try and get a little rest too because it's going to be a long night.
The hospital is being lovely, Dr. Brickler is so patient and non-aggressive. Jason is a champ, Lily is my hero and we're all just wishing there was something we could do to help her.
Owen remains stable and happy inside with no signs of distress.
So all is as it should be, albeit slow, and all is well and all is well.
I'll let you know when we have that baby.
Thinking of you... love x
ReplyDeleteI have been obsessively checking the blog all day for news; thank you so much for updating us, and send my own personal hugs to Ms. Lily. I am so glad she is where she is, too, where slowness does not immediately mean intervention.
ReplyDeletePoor girl must be wiped out.
ReplyDeleteThe candle is lighting!
ReplyDeletewow!
ReplyDeleteShe's one tough girl!
ReplyDelete:)
Nana used to say that babies are like peaches: when ripe, they fall.
ReplyDeleteOwen is some peach:)I keep the candles going, and hope you too get some rest.
In my heart and in my prayers. Love you all. Jan
ReplyDeleteGo Lily! Go Owen! Go team Moon and Hartman!!
ReplyDeleteChicken's were scratched and graped. Harley had a blast. We got 4 beautiful eggs!! thank you. We made sure everyone had water and food, even the kitties... so no worries at Chez BSC. Everyone is fine.
Something weird did occur... the dogs hardly barked.. and Zeke didn't even get out of bed! he just laid there in his doggie bed looking at us like..How dare you interrupt my nappy time! I wonder if they sense something's up??
Anyway, we sure do love all ya'll.

You may find it hard to leave your grandbaby in the hands of others once you have met him. I remember standing in the a hall outside of the nursery hours after his birth and my husband said,"I don't want to leave him here, I don't trust these folks, he's ours".
ReplyDeleteand when we left we found ourselves, rushing back...in just a few hours. It's wonderful. Enjoy.
I keep checking in too. Trying to avoid being like a kid on a roadtrip "are we there yet??"
ReplyDeleteFourth time today, even DH is beginning to wonder. He asked earlier "is Owen here yet?" and for a moment I thought he was talking about a friend of ours named Owen and when I realized he was asking about THE Owen I couldn't stop laughing.
ReplyDeleteThat baby will never know how many people were anxiously waiting for him. You must tell him. Here is hoping everything is better than fine.
Perspective: I was three cm at about 10 pm. 7cm at about midnight.
ReplyDeleteThen it all went away, andmy daughter wasn't born til 3.20pm the next day.
I don't think they would have left me to get on with it if I'd been in hospital with high blood pressure, is the only thing.
But hopefully Owen's just taken it slow and steady, and the family is too full of besotted delight to leave and sit at a computer!
The waiting is hard though! Hard to banish fears and doubts.
Perhaps one of Ms. Moon's other children can update us?
ReplyDeleteI'll check in again later.
Ceara and I have been checking in all day. And Farty is babbling his good wishes too!
