Labor - update

Well... I labored ALL night. Contractions started slowing a bit around 6 am and I was about 9cm with a bit of a cervical lip. I ended up falling sleep while there was a bit of a lull. I woke up at 8:00 and contractions had gone from 2-3 minutes apart to 20. Jaque checked me again a couple hours later and I had gone back to 4cm! I didn't even know that was possible. I am a bit discouraged with this and not looking forward to going through the work to get back to where I was, but Jaque feels pretty confident that I will make up that ground quickly when things get really active again.
Please keep us in your prayers. The little ones slept last night but everyone else was up most of the night with me so we are very tired today. Please pray that we can get some must needed naps today and for my earlier requests too. Of course I guess the prayer for a short labor kind of went out the window, but I can pray that when things pick up it will be fast.
