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.

Update of the Update

Well there is now room in the inn (hospital) for me so I called and got a reservation for midnight and if I can come in sooner I can. Hubby is kinda taking a nap till 11:30pm or so, but as of now he's playing with the cats. So I can start the induction tonight which means by tomorrow or Friday (depending on the Bump) I should be a proud parent of a newborn and my own body (at least the bottom half)! More updates soon but need to get stuff ready to go.

7:45 out of L&D and Induction is tomorrow (?)

Joy, as I thought I had plenty of fluid around the baby and the baby passed with flying colors and so did my Non Stress Test. Hubby has been given the job of calling tomorrow morning since I am not going to call because calling 3 times to be told to call back each time played on my nerves. I did take a 41 week picture of my belly today before we went out to enjoy a day of playing phone tag with the L&D people before being told to "go home, everything looks perfect". MIL got to see the baby via ultra sound and she got to see the little hands that will be out and grasping her finger sometime in the next 24-48 hrs. I am now going to take a shower and try to put the day behind me. I am also 1 CM dilated which is a big improvement than the 0 CM I was last week. A big improvement yes, but not enough to keep me there for induction. GURRRR!

41 weeks pregnant

I am offically 41 weeks today and called KP twice today and each time "call back at..." and I keep thinking I am not going to have the baby today, or tomorrow. Damn my going to L&D Monday, maybe because of that they are going to hold off.

Monday - 40w5d - Two days till induction

The good thing about knowing is that by this weekend I will have a baby in my arms that is part me and my husband. The bad thing is that we will no longer have our selves to look after. To be totally honest its not a bad thing, but its scary to know that for the remainder of your life you will some way feel responsible for how some one else has turned out and not just your self any more. I guess since I haven't been all that busy with going to work and doing a lot of things around the house, I have had more time to think. And think, and think. I think hubby and I are just wanting to get this stage over with so that we can go forward with our lives as parents instead of being in a holding pattern and hoping for the best out come for the baby so we can hold it, love it and blog about every cute moment that most parents do now a days with their little ones.

Happy Estimated Due Date to You Bumpy!

You still have time today to make it an official birthday or just a random number that the doctor came up with to be cruel to mommy and daddy. Now at 40 Weeks 0 days I hope everything is going well and we see your face soon! Because tomorrow we go to the doctors and talk induction! Because tomorrow you are offically over due by a day, but over due still.
