@SWE2 They had been telling me forever that it was off he table and I couldn't have one last time, so if they actually come through and let me have the epidural I will be thrilled!!
Still just hanging out in my room hooked up to pitocin and waiting for shiz to get real. Should have brought a coloring book or something.
@mamatowildones - CONGRATULATIONS! Your little peanut is ADORABLE, and I love his head of hair! (Also, my dad's name is Robert Alexander (Bob), so I think you chose wisely.)
Hey guys! I am having the least exciting induction ever! Up to 45 on this pitocin pump and still waiting for contractions to pick up. I wish I would have ate breakfast this morning. Soooo hungry!!
@Louise_Belcher - I hope things are going well and that they're doing *something* to address your pain. It sucks they didn't let you eat before they started. Hope things pick up soon!
I don't think it's real labor, but I've had 5 mild contractions in the last hour. I'm timing them just in case. Our people who will take care of the kids aren't here (and I'd be reluctant to wake them up), DS has a bday party to go to, and DD is supposed to have a swim lesson. I'd like to stay pregnant a bit longer! We also still need to think of names (!)

Just an update. They took me off pit for the night and did cervadil. Got to eat late last night and this morning and shower so that was wonderful. Although showering with an IV isn't awesome. Back on pit early this morning. They ended up breaking my water at just after 11 today (about an hour ago). Contractions are starting to be more frequent but not very I ntense. So ready for this to be done.
