Swing Batter... Strike

Today has been a very long day of nothing... just waiting.  The doctors knocked me out last night and in my drug induced fog I apparently started talking.  Tom being the sweet loving man he is tried to calmly wake me well I apparently didn't like that and took half hearted swing at him and missed... then cried.  I was clearly not myself.

So after feeling terrible from the meds they gave I have slept as much as possible today to try to prepare for tomorrow.  I am waiting for an ultrasound that will determine if a vaginal birth is even an option.  I'm still holding on for that slight chance but more than likely because she is breech we will have to do c-section.  Tonight at seven I move over to the labor and delivery unit where I will start a magnesium drip.  From what I hear it's going to make me feel pretty terrible.  I will be on it for 12 hours before we proceed with either type of delivery so no baby before 7 am tomorrow but how things will go after I really don't have much as far as answers.

I am here with my mom and I have sent Tom home to shower and get clothes for the next few days.  I feel sorry for him because I'm normally his rock but from what I know I'll be pretty out of it.  So he's kinda on his own.  :(

A lot of people have asked if they can come tomorrow... the answer is of course yes but I can not guarantee you will get to see me but there is less likely of a chance of getting to see Caroline.  I won't get to see her for at least 24 hours and the doctors won't let guests see her before me.  So no guarantee either way. 

Lots of love and more to follow as soon as we know something.

Love,
Casey, Tom and Caroline
