Kel - the best to all three of you!

Indeed Kel - I'll be keeping fingers and toes crossed for all of you. Take good care and if they offer you an extra day in the hospital - TAKE IT! (My niece Katie ended up getting induced 3 weeks ago and now we have our beautiful Sam!)

Thanks guys! I just dropped my parents off at their hotel and showed them around the hospital so they would know where everything was tomorrow. I can't believe that I'm really going to be a mom tomorrow.


ETA- I just got a PM from someone and they don't accept PMs back, but I wanted to say thank you!! You should accept PMs back, I'd love to get back in touch.

Kel,

Remember...if the epidural wears off, you CAN ask for another!

I did.

Both times.

Miss P, my hospital has the "push button epidural" if it starts to wear off at all I just have to push a button and I get more meds. I told the nurses when we went on the tour I was bringing a roll of tape and taping the button down. I have to call the hospital in about 30 minutes to make sure that they have room for me at 6:30 and then in I go to meet my son. I'm a nervous wreck, but in a good way.

Thank you again to all of you! XOXOXOXOX

Thanks guys! I'm here at the hospital all hooked up and on pitocin which is making my contractions start up. Nothing too exciting going on yet, but it should start soon. Just popping in to take my mind off of the contractions and such.

Love to all!

[Bluemoon]

Posted: 5/5/08 at 9:12am

I was on a pit drip, too and felt nothing for the first 4 hours. I watched a lot of daytime TV and did crossword puzzles. A little busier later in the day, though.

Hang in there!
