Q: At the Hospital

Update!
I'm here!
I got here at like 7am, got all hooked up and had my IV started.
They just started me on pitocin about 10 minutes ago.

Maybe after a while I'll actually feel the contractions that I've been having. LOL.

Anyway, hope everyone's having a good Sunday! Very Happy I'll post later.

LOL The nurse thinks I'm lying because I keep telling her that I'm not feeling any of the contractions that I've been having. Smile

lol I so am not lying...I swear! I think she thinks I am, but oh well.

I'm hoping he'll be born after 11:30pm, so that I don't have to call Thomas at work.

aww, he doesn't get to be there with you? I'm sorry. Well, maybe it's sometimes a little more peaceful without the extra headaches. I had my mom and DH in the room with me. Maybe I'll fly solo next time Very Happy

Ah...I see.
Well, I got sick from something they were giving me in the IV (I was also induced) and through the contractions my mom was like "Think of somewhere fun, like....a roller coaster!" and I flipped out and said "MOM! You are NOT helping, I hate roller coasters, SHUT UP" it made me sick to think about a roller coaster while I was about to puke. LOL I'm not normally mean and mouthy, especially to my mom. We have an awesome relationship, but yeah....I guess a monster can come out while trying to give birth to a small person Very Happy

haha My mom didnt feel ANY of hers even without an epi.. apparently she has a pinched nerve in her back that keeps her from feeling them.

How are you feeling!??
