Happy news at 8 they checked and I am 8 CM! Also my OB/GYN MD is on the floor and might be able to deliver me tonight if Bumpy cooperates. So I have something to look forward to if everything goes well.

Water Broke
My water broke! Wee felt like I wet myself. Nurse came in and tested the fluid. She came back in and said yes it was amniotic fluid. Woot!

got the epidural
So around 4:30 I got the epi and now I'm druged up and feeling like my butt, legs and feet feel like they are asleep but I don't reallyfeel the pain like my first dose of pain killers.
The pain boss, the pain
Around 1 pm an hour after hubby arrived, I started to have contractions. Small but sharp pain that hurt my head as well as my body. I walked a bit around the hospital floor to see if they were the start of the real deal and they were. At 12 they uped my dose of oxycotin to 15 which jumped started the cottactions I was slowly starting to have. About 2 I called the nurse in to tell her about the pain and how each "wave" I had effected my head as well. She said that she would tell the MD and the MD may check up on me as well. Another hour passed and the nurse assigned to me came back and started to ask me about the pain and if I wanted to have meds. I was like yes please. Because the pain effected my head, she thought I all ready had pain meds but I said no and she saw in my "chart" that indeed I had not requested anything yet. So she got some IV medication and it has been taking the edge off as I lay here in bed but not 100% as I can feel the peaks of the contractions but it's a tad bit easier on my head.
Induction started
As I said in my last post there was room in the hospital and I took it! At 12 checked in and in less than 5 hours was giving the same answers to the same questions. Then at 1:30 was checked and I was 2 CM dialited! By 2 my membrains were stripped and oxytocian was started. At 3 the nurse came by and asked me more questions and went to sleep. At 4ish woke up to some pain in my hip and got a red band saying I am alergic to milk. Then went back to sleep. Around 5 I woke up to tinkering and a migraine. I got some Tynole and went back to sleep and finally got a little consitant sleep till 7:30am. As it is around 8:10 am, Hubby has gone home for a few hours and to feed the cats. Just waiting for breakfast to arrive and watching some TV.
