6:45pm -- The OB came and checked Shannon. She is dilated to 2cm, 80% effaced, and the baby is sitting at -2. (This is a measure of how low the baby is in the pelvis, where positive numbers mean the baby is deeper in the pelvis.) We'll be doing a third dose of cytotec in just a few minutes. Then waiting for a few more hours. Hopefully the cytotec puts her in real labor and things progress more quickly. If they don't, we'll switch to pitocin to help out. Regardless, it looks quite unlikely that Wombsly will be making her appearance any time soon, or before midnight. It looks like we may need to be thinking about trying to get some sleep so we can be of some utility tonight when the real action starts.

So... I'm guessing we will no longer have to call the baby Wombsley at 1:43am.

Patrick's guess is 11:59pm

P.S. Patrick has joined the dark side and is now playing World of Warcraft.
