on again, off again, ON AGAIN.

The Ob just stopped by. She says "well, we will do the cervidil again and see if we can get the cervix thinned. If that does not do anything we will send you home and bring you back in on Tuesday to see if we can start again. but first i need to double check your Truman (?) score."
then she say "wait a second. I was told 30 and 1. I think you are closer to 50 and 1.5. This is good. Lets put in the cervidil and see if we can get you a little softer and hopefully have a baby today." Then she says "Hold on a second. You have a collagen band." Apparently she had a tough spot that was preventing dilation. then it was "oh, there we go, lets call it 50 and 3.5, and the head is right there and the sack is right there and palpable. Lets break it."
So this means that the sack is broke (as of 8:40) and fluid is leaking. we are past the point of no return and the Pit is being started as I type so the contractions should amp up here pretty quickly. Here is hoping for a short labor and a happy, healthy, baby. We will tell you more on the flip side.
Oh and by the way, we did get to eat a little breakfast but if the anesthesiologist asks we have not eaten since midnight.
