Quick update....

I know I just provided an update a couple days ago on Dad & BGP. But, I had an OB appointment this morning and wanted to provide you all with that information.

I am now officially 4 centimeters dilated! My OB isn't sure what on earth is holding BGP in there. I am still sitting at 80% effaced and +1 station (her head is extremely low in my pelvis). Keep in mind that a baby is delivered at +3 station!

I am hopeful that BGP will stay put until Thursday or Friday. Dad will likely be discharged on Wednesday or Thursday. As long as they are heading home, Mom will be able to get to the hospital for the delivery. Not that I can't do it without her, mind you, but Dan and I both (yes, Dan wants her to be there perhaps even more than I do....smile) really want her to be there. A mother provides comfort and strength -- 2 things I'll definitely need while birthing BGP. It also helps that my mom is a nurse and keeps tabs on what the nurses are doing.

Oh yes, and Mom just called to let us know that Dr. Harpole came by to check on Dad and he said that Dad is doing "GREAT!" He thinks he'll have Dad discharged in a couple days. And, the big news is that Dad walked a mile today! Hard to believe he lost a lung 4 days ago. God sure is good!!
