Induction Fail 4:17PM

We’re goin’ home!  I think Heidi is rather pleased with the prospect of real food, being able to walk around freely and her own bed.  ______ Christine Hanzely will be here at a later date.

The Famous Pain Scale

You’ll have to excuse the less than perfect shot — there were many important looking cables and IV tubes in my way.

Hour two of pitocin 2:25PM

posted by:

The pitocin dosage started at 2.5mL/hr and is now up 24mL/hr. Contractions are also starting to occur more frequently with a little more oomph to ‘em; 4-5 on the trusty old pain scale.

11 o’clock means 12 o’clock in hospital time 12:02PM

I think Heidi is “over” this whole “induction” process and ready to go home.  Every now and then when she looks at me, I swear I can see her imagining pinching me!  But, the pitocin is now hooked up, so the next few hours could be interesting, or we could be headin’ home.  So far, the contractions have been sporadic and 3-4 on the 10 point pain scale.

Still no change or progress.  They will take another look at 11:30′ish this morning and possibly start some pitocin, but if by 4Pm’ish there still isn’t any change they may send us home for a few more days.

Baby is doing very well and mommy says she’s “crabby”.  Daddy is … well… who cares.  ;-)

Looks like tomorrow will be the day… now time to cash in on some sleep!

We hungry! 6:37PM

Poor girl, she’s starving but can’t eat anything due to them trying to keep the blood sugar in check.

STILL no pitocin, and at this point, it’s not looking very promising that there will be any pitocin tonight at all.  Good thing Netflix has movies that you can watch on demand from your computer.

Since there isn’t anything super exciting to share, I thought you might enjoy a couple pictures.

Yay!!!

I failed to remember that our street was getting swept today… off to bail out my car.

Heidi is doing well, still no pitocin, so no progress in that respect.

Burrr… 11:15AM

Still no pitocin, and it’s probably warmer outside than it is in this room… I’m freezing my butt off, but Heidi thinks it’s perfect.

OB says labor from induction could start “this afternoon, later tonight, tomorrow morning”… so you know… whenever.

Buuurrrrr!!!
