Good morning--no baby yet.

It's me, Cari. It's 8:45 a.m. No baby yet. Darrell, Carol and Taylor are sleeping. Bethany and I are up. This baby seems to be taking it's sweet time. I think he/she is having too much fun doing gymnastics to want to come out yet! Last night at 1:30 a.m. I was dilated to 7 and having contractions every 5-8 minutes. We decided it would be best to try to rest and see what happened. Well, the contractions sped up for about the first hour then died down to almost nothing. Unfortunately, I was not able to sleep much. I finally had to get up and eat something. Carol says it should pick up again this morning, and that my body needed to rest. We'll keep you posted! Thank you for the prayers.
