Working quietly

The induction medications have been administered! Kathryn was induced moments ago after a flurry of activity from the Mid-wife and nurse. The lights are now low and she is listening to the ipod. Every five minutes the blood pressure cuff inflates automatically but otherwise all is quiet. We now speak to each other in a whisper, the goal is calm and stillness. From here we are to wait about four hours in the hopes her body gets the signal and starts labor. If nothing has happened we might try another drug around noon. Thankfully its very quite out in the corridor. The nurses have just changed shifts and our new nurse smiles big and is kinda spunky. We like her already.
