Evening Update
My Sister is in a LOT of pain. She could barely talk with me tonight while I was visiting her. They had her hooked up to the monitor that watches the baby’s heart rate and tells whether Alyssa is having contractions or not. Even an hour and half later after receiving oxycontin she had no relief. It seems like she is just having a really hard time with baby Mariah moving around without the fluid. Alyssa says it hurts big time when the baby does “the butt wiggle”
That is usually when she cannot talk through the pain.They will be keeping her on the monitor through out the entire night. She will probably be on it from now on… The one thing she did say was that hearing the baby’s heartbeat on the monitor was so soothing to her. I have to admit it was pretty neat and made me teary eyed knowing there was a little life trying to grow and thrive!
I couldn’t get pics in the hospital because Lissy is just in too much pain. The children had to stay in the family room they provide in the birthing pavilion. I did, however, take pics of what we brought her while at home knowing the kids probably wouldn’t be able to see her today. I think Alyssa will like the memories for her baby book later on. Here’s what the kids helped me pick out for their Aunty Lissy….

Cute pics! Later on, your sis will have time to savor it all. Meanwhile, she’s in our prayers.
Definitely Mickey. And they’re beautiful. Jeez, no relief on the Oxycontin. I hope this baby decides to come quick!
ryc: Not only on her head, but it would also be the ever-dreaded pink!
I have to agree. It’s Mickey. By the way, Caleb looks nice in his glasses. Is this a new thing, or did I miss something in my absence? Your sis and Mariah are in our prayers.
I’ll have to agree with Rob here. Caleb looks nice in his glasses. They make him look more grown up.
