This thread is making me smile BIG! I am sure Sara will want to print it out and show little Alden some day. So many people are wanting to meet you little one. :) Your mommy is going to be just the best and you already have a couple of fur siblings. Come on out! :p

I hope that bouncing baby boy has made his big entrance into the world by now. :)

Can whoever posts the good news please put "thread updated" in the title. I've dashed in here at least 6 times today and I really should be working - good job my boss is in meetings for most of the day.

Could be a couple of days guys, especially for a first time mom and if she wasn't quite ready sometimes it takes a while for the drugs to work, sometimes up to three days in rare cases, then she still has labor to go through so it could be quite a while yet.

Just going to post this.... First time moms have a hard time with labor. My mom was in labor with me for 32 hours :eek: So it could still be awhile

That's a myth. It's really just up to each individual woman. I just had my first baby in December. I was started on pitocin at 7:30am, they broke my water by 8:15am, I started pushing at 5pm and Aidan was born at 5:19pm. The woman across the hall from me was being induced with her fourth child and I beat her. It depends on the woman, not the number of pregnancies she's had.

They broke my daughters water at 8:45 AM Charity arrived at 12:45 PM first timer and 24years old age as nothing to do with it either.

I have heard nothing from Sara. I have left messages on her home and cell phone asking for anyone to call me. I am so praying she isn't still in labor, though, that is likely what is going on.

Considering I was only 1cm dialated up to that point (39 weeks along) and not effaced, I'd say that a 10 hour labor ain't bad. He actually probably should've been born about an hour earlier, but I was scared and didn't tell them I felt like I could push until I couldn't stand it anymore. At any rate, I don't have a medical background so I can only go off what my OBGYN told me and that is that every woman is different, every labor is different, so the "first time labors are always longer" is just an old wives' tale. It is completely up to the woman, not the number of pregnancies she's had.

I'm not trying to get into a pissing match - neither of us have any medical background - I'm just telling you what my OB told me when I asked her what I could expect when we first began talking inductions.

Just think, if Alden is born today, he'll be one LUCKY baby! 7-7-06 :D

Hopefully if he isn't born already, he will be soon........

Hang in there Sara!

Dang, I thought for sure there would be an update by now!! Geez!!!

Should I start a new thread, that everyone can subscribe to, and NO ONE can post anything until I post an update? That way, everyone knows the ONLY reply to the post will be an update?

I don't want to keep people in the dark....but, I know nothing right now. AND, to top it off, I am leaving for vacation tomorrow am, without computer!!!

Really, I never quite understand your animosity towards me. It is like you have some secret need to be nasty towards me, something I can't ever fathom.

Johanna,

From the sounds of it, you could USE a vacation. Where's that coming from anyway???

This thread is about Sara and Alden. Geez! :rolleyes:
