Erin's homebirth: Take 2

Well, I am pretty sure Eden is beginning to think that her parents are liars and there is in fact no baby.  Last night (just like a week and a half-ago) we told Eden she would have a new baby brother or sister in the morning.  and like last time, she woke and we had to explain to her that the baby was still in mommy's belly.  

So...it is Wednesday morning and on the positive side, we all slept well.  Sarah, the midwife, has been monitoring things and she said everything is fine.  She said that 70% of women have the baby within 48 hours of her water breaking.  90% have it within 72 hours.  

Erin (this is Jarrett typing) is having contractions but they are still irregular and not very intense.  Sarah has not done any vaginal exams as that greatly increases the risk of infection.  Sarah and her nurse, Megan, are out for breakfast and we are having some breakfast hanging out with my mom, Jules, who arrived at 1 am last night after a tire blowout in East St. Louis.  Sarah will stay in the neighborhood until the baby arrives.  We love y'all and are incredibly grateful for your prayers.  As far as we can tell everything has gone really well.  Amen!
