Updates on Mallory & Jaxson

8:45 a.m.
Mallory was induced at 4 a.m. this morning. Her water was broken at 8:45 a.m. and she is dilated 1 cm and 80% effaced. She is having normal contractions, getting closer together, and comfortable. Now that her body is ready to go, Jaxson should arrive this afternoon!

Hospital Info:
Woman's Hospital
9050 Airline Highway
Baton Rouge, LA 70815

10:30 a.m.
Mallory just got an epidural!

1:15 p.m.
She is dilated 3-4 cm's, contractions are constant and intense. Nurse will check her again in 2 hours and thinks that she'll be between 6-8 cm's. It's getting close!!

2:15 p.m.
Mal is dilated 5 cm's and completely effaced! Her blood pressure dropped and Jaxson's heart rate dropped but they got it all under control with oxygen and putting her on her left side. Both Mal and Jaxson are doing great and making progress! They've lowered her Pitocin from 32 to 2 (not sure what the units are) since Jaxson wasn't responding well to it...he's too comfy in the womb and doesn't want to come out!!

3:45 p.m.
Mal is dilated a good 6 cm's. She is resting before the time comes to push! Not much longer.

5:45 p.m.
SHE'S PUSHING!! Jaxson will be here shortly!!!
