Slow and Steady

Well, it's been 4 hours and she's 5 cm, 100% effaced and the baby's moving down into the pelvis - all good signs! They just turned the pitocin up a little bit.  However, her temperature is slightly elevated and the nurses are watching it closely. At one point it was 100.4 and is now down to 99.7 which causes the baby's heart rate to be faster in response. They are monitoring her for any signs of infection. We are figuring that it will probably be somewhere in the 2 am time frame for delivery. Please pray with us for her temperature to return to normal, no infection, and strength and energy to push the baby out when the time comes. Caitlin is resting now and hopefully will be able to nap a little bit!
