July 9, 2004
So I havent written in what seems like forever. First my computer crashed and then I just got so tired waiting to have my baby.
A recap of events. At 37 weeks my non stress test women stripped my membranes and I cannot descibe the amount of pain that is. It was like my own personal torture chamber, after 3 stripped membrane trips I was 3 centimeters and 70% effaced. At 38 weeks I had a doctors appointment and the midwife had pretty much told me a few days before that I would probably be induced, and as it so happened this was the same time that my parents decided to come down for a visit so now I would have someone to watch allie while I was having the baby. At my appointment however the DR decided that my body didn't tolerate labor last time and therefore induction would not be an option until 39 weeks. Devestated and crying I callled Jen and Allyson (my support team) and told them to stand down because operation baby was a flop. I headed to my non stress appointment and was an obvious not happy camper. Carol my nurse (whom I love) the one who stripped my membranes came up to me and told me that she would get me admitted TODAY and that I wouldn't have to go home and wait any longer. After checking me to see if i was any further dialated and making sure the baby was OK she broke my water bag. I decided to walk to my car and get my pillows and my bag and to call my parents, marc and my friends and then head back to labor and delivery. By the time I got there my pants were soaked and water was dripping down my leg (I always though that the initial gush was it, I never thought that there were going to be a million and 5 gushes) ewwwww. I was admitted shortly and was allowed to take a shower. At the time I was admitted it was 4:30 pm on June 28, 2004.
I will finish thisup tomorrow, baby Josh is crying to be fed
Love Liz
