Slow and steady wins the race!

Well we went in for a routine appointment and my blood pressure had spiked to 140 over 98 which is quite high especially compared to what it's been the rest of my pregnancy. I was admitted to the maternity ward and was put on bed rest (which really sucked) for 24 hours.

Sanora is at Tara and Donovan's house, friends of ours down the street, and is apparently very talkative and happy. Now Tara really knows what I mean when I say that Sanora asks ALOT of questions during a movie and likes to sing while she goes to the bathroom, lol.

I was induced 8:00 am Tuesday morning with a hormone that was put on my cervix to thin it out so my water would break. That had to sit on my cervix for 12 hours in which they monitored my blood pressure, the baby, contractions, and my reflexes for 10 minutes every half hour. So far there are lots of contractions that are big, but not really going anywhere. I am said to be 2 cm dilated since 8am this morning, and still no baby…. so what does that tell you? Tomorrow morning if there still is nothing they are going to give me an IV with something called called Oxytocin in it. It's pritty much the same hormone that your body gives off naturally when you have sex, just a little bit more than normal. Either way the baby is coming tomorrow.

Thank goodness for Sanora because they gave me a couple hours leave to see her. Unfortunately she was already asleep so I have been doing a lot of walking and came home to check my e-mail instead. There was a respiratory epidemic for a while where a few babies had to be flown out on one almost died. Because of this Sanora can’t come in the ward to come see the baby and myself pretty much till we bring the baby home. I miss my girl and I will be very excited to come home.

So as a close off I will be phoning when the baby decided to grace us with it's presence and bless us with its cries of life. So I am off to the hospital soon, so I bid you all ado!
