Just to let everyone know!
Tomorrow, 08/24/06, is Ashley's original due date. We are to be at the hospital at 7:15 a.m. to have labor semi-induced. She has been dilated to 3 cm for about 3-4 weeks and no changes. She had a doctors visit yesterday and they told her to pick a day, Thursday or Friday, to deliver. She chose Thursday b/c of her doc being on call. They are going to break her water and see if that will encourage her cervix to dilate (my words). Hopefully this will work. If not, the other doc suggested that she be given Potocin (sp?) to bring on contractions and given an epidural (sp. again?) She said she did not want an epidural. I asked her if the reason they decided to do this was b/c they were anticipating problems and she said no. I'm not sure why the rush to make her go into labor then!?!?!? The baby will be born when it's ready. Anyway, everybody please keep her and baby in your prayers and I'll keep you posted. Why is everybody in such a rush these days?????? Don't they normally do this when you've gone past your due date?

Hang in there, Ashley (you too Christie!).
I think it's mostly for the convenience of the doctor and everyone else. We'll be sure to remember you all tomorrow. What hospital is she using and who is her doctor?
