After twelve hours of Cervadil through the night our nurse says there have been some improvements.  Sarah will now go onto a stream of Pitocin which mimicks the body's production of Oxytocin.  Ultimately, we wish we didn't have to use these drugs, but after talking with the nurse about what happens if one doesn't induce after a period of time, I understand the need for the drugs.

We have not met yet with Dr. Fox this morning.  He's on call today and he has another patient in an adjacent room so we expect to see a lot of him before all the pushing starts.
