Induction Day!

Well, it has been an interesting day so far. Dad got up super early this morning to see his patients in order to be ready for the induction at 8 a.m.. Unfortunately, the Labor and Delivery floor was packed so they had us come in a few hours later. We got up there and the floor was still packed so we had to hang out for a while. Finally, they checked Amelia's head position and it turned out she was breech. After a few more hours of waiting until six hours had passed since Hill had passed, they performed an external cephalic version. Luckily things went well and she is now head-down! We were a little nervous, but our doctors were great.

Of note, the Anesthesiologist has just been in to meet us and Hill is looking forward to it.

It is now 9 p.m. and the induction is under way!!! We'll keep you updated.

Claire came by to visit. Luckily she has grandma to take such good care of her. She has been asking for mom all day. We have missed her so much today and pray she will do well with our new addition.
Here we are at the beginning of the induction.
Last night we had a great night with Claire. It was so weird to think that when we came home again there would be two Dahle girls. Mom and Claire are the best of friends. I guess they will have to make room for a third in their circle. Hill has just declared that she is the ringleader, and Claire will do what she says. Amelia will be the needy one for a while.

Dad, you will never believe what I just found in there. I wouldn't go in.

Quick Dad, run as fast as you can!

Yea! We escaped.

Nevermind. Gotta keep running!


Ta-da!

Just a few more pictures at home.

Claire kept saying, "Be careful. Don't fall."

We love you Claire. Thank you for being such a good little girl.

Oh, and I love the picture of Claire running, with her hair flowing behind her :) She looks like a professional.
