[wittyandwaiting]

Hi!

Just wanted to let you know that we're thinking of you today and can't wait to meet your new LO!

I'm wishing you all the best for a safe and healthy delivery for all!!

[kh826]

Thank you!
I will post updates on this thread later today after we get to the hospital. We are scheduled for 12pm right now, so it will be a while before things get cooking, but I will keep you all posted!

You made it through the blizzard! See that MIL, all that fuss for nothing. You'll be holding your new babe by tonight. Yay!

[crazyaunt84]

Sending you all the good thoughts today for a smooth delivery for Dosey! Can't wait to see who's in there!!

[JustJudy]

[firstcomeslove2013]

Sending such positive, calming, and productive thoughts to you and yours today KH! Come on Dosey! We can't wait to meet you!

[cetcar]

We'll be thinking of you!! Hope it all goes smoothly and can't wait to find out what Dosey is!

[karlamo]

I have to confess when I saw cetcar birth announcement I was on my phone so I didn't see who posted it. My first thought was kh826 had her baby and I was right, it's a girl.

I'm stalking this thread, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Not much happening. When we got to the hospital they had suddenly gotten busy, so we sat in the waiting room for an hour and a half. Then we sat in a triage room for 45 min. I'm in a room now (apparently I got the last bed), and they started an IV and got me on the monitor, but still waiting for the doctor. So nothing has actually started yet and we have been here for 4 hours. Just trying not to be antsy. Nurse says dr will be in soon now, but she also just sent J to get me something to eat since dr said that's ok before "we get started" so I feel like that's not a good omen.

I'm having contractions and pressure, and I feel like if they break my water and get the pitocin going things should move fast, but until then it will just be more of the same prodromal labor.

Anyway, it's going to be a long night I think. I will update again when there is something new...

Thanks for all the support!

Well this was an anticlimactic update.  I bet once you get the Pitocin you'll have her quick.  See what I did there?

[kh826]

Trust me, I know how anticlimactic it is!
I'm mostly bummed because this feels like a wasted day away from William. I just really hope we can get this party started soon.

[wittyandwaiting]

You must be feeling like this:

[healz413]

I'm so excited for you. Stalking this thread. Hope it starts soon and is easy and smooth

[cetcar]

I just checked back in hoping for an update. Seems like a lot of us are thinking of you. Hope your hunch is right and it does go quickly.

[kh826]

They broke my water at 4:30pm, started pitocin at 6:20. Just got epidural. I opted for a half dose of the epidural, as we are hoping that will minimize the likelihood of my BP tanking. BP hasn't been too low yet. I am feeling pressure from contractions, but so far very manageable. I don't know how dilated I am - they were waiting to check me til after shift change - waiting to meet night team.

J's mom has been sending us adorable videos of William that we have shared with the nurses and they are getting a kick out of it.

Hoping there is still a chance we will have a baby tonight (before midnight), but will know more after they check me...

It feels weird to be giving a play by play from the delivery room HAHA

Will update again when we have news...

[2mrsks (mrs&mrsk)]

Lol nothing but time ....for posts and updates. Well once u get Epi that is. Congrats ! Looking forward to updates!

All the best thoughts for smooth sailing into the world!

[karlamo]

Very quiet around here. Surely baby must be here by now.

[crazyaunt84]

I keep checking in hoping to see a squishy little face!

[firstcomeslove2013]
