BABY TIME!!!

Went for my Monday appt totally dreaming of lunch afterwards and maybe even stoppin to finally get my oil changed....WRONG! They did an NST and it took us a bit to get him moving but it was good bc his heart rate was variable with his movements (drinkin a lil water goes far). However, when the dr. did an ultrasound to check my fluids things changed a bit. She tried 3 times but it kept measuring low (at about 3 when 10 is the low "normal") and she sent me to labor & delivery -- quite a walk all by yourself when you weren't expecting it! I was all ready to wear my cute maternity clothes through Thurs. when they were originally going to induce. So I got in and all hooked up at 2pm...pitocin started at 3pm...at 7pm when they checked me was barely 1/2cm dilated and 50% effaced....still chillin' there when checked again at 9pm. Dr. let me unhook from bed rest & pitocin then to eat something & shower (so relaxing & good time waster) since it probably won't be until after 9am when they make a decision on how he's makin his entrance into the world. Doc isn't so sure my beautiful but non-childbearing-friendly pelvis will actually let Peanut engage...so we're giving it a good ole college try for now. Jimmy has been amazing with massages and all other requests. Gma Chele refused to go to work so she didn't miss anything and John kept her company for awhile. Pops & g.g. made it up here safely to join the par-tay too. Dad is the only smart one that went home to sleep some tonight and keep Easton & Charlie from going doggie crazy. So it's 2:40am now and I can't get uber comfortable to try and get some zzzzz's but I think it may be worth a shot so we have some energy to meet our lil' man in the morning! Lotsa love!!!
