Susie is so much fun

It’s been a little while since we’ve had Susie update. She’s pulling herself up wherever she can. And she loves to use that to generate laughs. Here, we get to watch as she stands up and crouches at the coffee table, playing a version of Peek-a-Boo with Traci.

I’ve also taught her a new game. It started at the softball field with me throwing a ball (read handing it to her) very dramatically and then taking it back as she held her hand out. It has now progressed into a passing back and forth game. She’s gotten so good at it that if she misses, she’ll pick it up and try again. Just before starting this game, she picked up her toy, crawled over to me toy in hand, and dropped it in, essentially letting me know she wanted to play. She’s just so darn cute.

Susie Pulls herself up for the first time

Susie has successfully pulled herself up to a standing position

Susie Pulls Up
As quoted by Traci "I left the room for just a minute to wash my hands and when I returned, this is what I found."

We're at 9-10cm. Gonna wait to push yet. Hoping Susie will move down a bit more, then we'll begin pushing.

Traci is doing great. We're starting pitocin now to try and help Susie appear.

Well, after 17 hours of contractions, we've decided to go with an epidural. Traci's been awesome!
