8 cms at 8pm

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.

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.

Not the Real deal

So after I wrote the post and watched a few TV shows on Hulu (on-line place for TV shows) the subsided enough for me to try to go to bed again. So I got my pillows together and some blankets and hunkered in for the long night. I ended up sleeping till 7:30am (about when this post was started) to tell you all that I had no child last night or early this morning but I know what to feel for when it is the real deal. Now Bumpy is kicking and moving so I am glad about that and my ute is soft and I am still at Bump Watch '09 status. Sorry about the scare, but the waiting game sucks!

The doctor stated that the HB of Bumpy has gone down 10 bpm to 140 bpm but still in the very healthy range and as long as there is movement and its not below 125ish it will stay till its ready. I stated to her that if I am still pregnant by June 4th *the 40 week appointment* I would not hesitate to get induced by June 5th. That was my EDD for Bumpy. After last night I don't know if I am going to make it till June, but as I stated in the wee morning, My water didn't break so there really isn't any time crunch at the moment. But I am prepared!
