Being induced...At the hospital

Im officially in the hospital being induced!!!!! Cervidil is in...having mild contractions and Kora looks and sounds great. Going to relax and enjoy my stay!!! Will be starting Pitocin around 6am.

Doc said there is a 10% chance the cervidil alone will kick start active labor and may not need pitocin...so lets hope that 10% chance actually applies to me!

Awe I'm sorry :( hang in there this is the home stretch and then you can lay on your tummy again, see your toes, bend over without getting kicked in the lungs oh and you will be able to breath and even get off the floor without assistance!!  I'm 32 weeks and so jealous of you right now ;)

Mmmmm taco bell. What is it about pregnancy and taco bell?!?  It's so much tastier!  Should have realized I was pregnant when I was sending my hubby out for taco bell literally EVERY night. And at 32 weeks I wonder now how I've only gained 18lbs total and baby is approx 4.5lbs. I should be HUGE for the amount of chalupas and grilled stuffed bouritos I've eaten lol!  I joke this is actually just a food baby thanks to taco bell.

Keep us posted lady!  I can't wait to hear great news and get to say happy birthday :D

OMG How did I Miss this!!!!! I sent my husband out for McDonalds after Grey was born but I was so exhausted that I fell asleep cuddled up with him on the delivery bed and the food went cold...luckily a nurse brought it down to the nurse's station and warmed it up for me LOL.

Anyway GOOOOOOD LUCK i can't wait to hear the whole storrrrryyyy!!!!!!!

YaY!  things are rolling now!  Can't wait to hear all about her birth!  

After having Lily, as soon as they put us in the recovery room I sent DH out to waffle house for hash browns.  It was 3 am so it was pretty much the only place open in this small town, otherwise it WOULD have been taco bell LOL.

LOL thats funny BTS!!!  When i was in labor, my mom came in from work cause she left early, and had her lunch pail with her, and i begged her to let me go threw it, cause it was about 4pm and i hadnt ate since 2 pm the day before.. I was in labor for 12 hours, from 3 pm, to 2:27am. and at about 10pm I was begging my doctor to make it go faster so i could catch Arbys before they closed!! LOL... and as soon as my son came out, everything was closed and i was sooo exhausted that I wasnt even hungry anymore, but i did crack open a redbull the second he came out, (i had been craving one of those my whole pregnancy)   I got Arbys for lunch the next day, but it wasnt as good as it sounded the night before. lol


Good luck hun, my prayers are with you!!!  Hope its not too much longer and cant wait to hear about her and see her pictures!!!

Well its 7am...no pitocin yet, got to take a shower with actual hot water lol....now sitting in my room eating sugar free jello that tastes like dirt and orange juice...all the while hubby gets to order breakfast from room service......I cant complain to much, he brought me a sandwhich, and rice crispy treat that I demolished before the nurse could figure out he snook it in lol.

I will keep everyone posted. Hopefully she is here by lunch time, cause either Taco bell or a nice juicy cheeseburger sounds really yummy lol.
