Hang in there... I know it is sooooo hard. Dh and I literally took one hour at a time; which probably made things harder. My advice is to try to stay busy. The hardest part for us was dealing with our 5yo; trying to prepare him/protect him. Absolutely gut-wretching. I threw up for 3 days straight; we also had a 72 hr tpr wait. Is the baby with the mother right now? Our daughter's birthmom didnt' want to see her at all so we HAD to take care of our daughter during that time; which made it harder in a way. This is your labor! Breath deep, remember to eat and drink, pray, and hold eachother. That's all you can do really. Oh, and tylenol PM helped me sleep a little.

Best wishes!
