Happy Easter

Fresh from a large Easter dinner of "family steak" (round steak marinated in soy sauce, grilled medium rare, and served with garlic butter) Brigit and I are at the hospital. Again.
We just completed the first round of Cytotec which we're going to try until morning. If nothing happens we'll re-evaluate whether to move on to Pitocin or perhaps move straight to a c-section.
We're in a different room and Brigit is now facing east rather than west. Brigit believes this may be better feng shui. This being my baby, I'm fairly certain Ziggy has no concept of flow, design, or anything remotely aesthetic.
Our sense of humor is a bit worn after a long day (sunrise church service at 6:30 during which one of Brigit's elderly congregants fainted) followed by a hike (still hoping for that 'natural' birth) and Easter lunch with 16 guests - who brought dishes and cleaned and made hosting easy)so we hope to have more energy and some good news tomorrow.
Good night.

Dude. I know you guys must be fried after your day and previous attempts, but this is REALLY exciting. Good luck, I'll be sending happy good karma sparkles in your direction! Go Brigit! Go Ziggy!

Okay, thanks for the update! Every birth story is unique, so Ziggy is just making sure this one is exciting! I'll look at the blog frequently tomorrow.
Brigit, the nurses are your friends, so stop messing with the instruments!!! ;-)
Hey Ziggy, the world is ready for you!

Grandma cannot sleep.
It is 3:30 AM - wondering how Brigit is doing - how daddy is doing. If I will meet Ziggy today.
