No Eli Today...

Hi Everyone!  Just a quick update...Eli will not be joining us in the world today.  We went to the hospital today, and I got sent home after a few hours.  They simply felt like I wasn't far enough along physically to induce yet.  They injected me with a medicine that should prepare me more, and I will be induced on Sunday.  I'm also supposed to drink castor oil tomorrow!  Jeremy and I were obviously disappointed, but I think overall this will be better.  I will be more prepared physically, so induction won't be so taxing on me or Eli.  Please keep us in your prayers, and we'll continue to keep you updated!

The Essig's here in South Carolina are praying for the Wilson family way over in Austria! We love you guys and know that God's hand is there with you every step of the way! Relax and enjoy the last few days before this precious boy comes into the world! :)

Have fun drinking the so called "Hebammen cocktail" with castor oil. You can also try drinking Himbeerblättertee.

Hi, I tend to do more lurker than posting but I am very excited to hear that the little man has arrived. Good luck with the Castor Oil, I drank it and was massively in labor 6 hrs later. I think my body was ready for it though (3 1/2 cm dialated). Good luck and I am looking forward to the "big" blog afterwards.
