It's been an uneventful evening.
It seems unlike every other aspect of our culture, this birthing center has loosened up its rules. They gave Carrie a small dinner and snacks. They let her unplug from the monitors and go to the restroom without a nurse. The nurse claims that they won't be waking her up tonight, and they turned down the heart monitor sound so we won't hear it, which is different from what I remember.
The baby's heart has been going fine all night, no hiccups. Perhaps the most surprising thing is that Carrie has been having somewhat regular, and painful, contractions. She has never experienced contractions without pitocin. We are hoping this means that the baby will come sooner.
We have been watching classic The Office episodes on Comedy Central to kill time: Micheal gets back with Jan, Micheal botches interview in New York, Pam and Jim secretly date, and my favorite the Rabies Fun Run for the Cure.
Until tomorrow morning!

Thanks for the update, especially which episodes of the office. It gives me a feel for what is happening in your birthing center.
I got to eat before Lola Rose was born too.
Glad things are moving, sorry that Carrie has to deal with contractions without pain killers.Hang in there! Hope your morning is productive!
