Well we have a happy and healthy baby girl. She is nearly two weeks old now.
Here's the story:
We waited patiently for her decide to come, but I guess she was just in a really bad position and so my body never really progressed with her. I eventually dilated to a one four days after the due date, but when I checked into the hospital another week later I was still at a one. The doctors gave me an extra week past what they wanted to and I was grateful, but the sad thing is I never went into labor on my own.
On Thursday night, July 8th I checked into the hospital so they could give me a medicine to finish softening my cervix. Between the two monitors on my stomach that kept moving and Curtis' snoring across the room I didn't get much sleep. Finally at 3 in the morning I had the nurse give me a sleeping pill and I slept until 6.
At 7:30 Dr. Barton broke my water and then at 8 they put me on the Pitocin. They start low and gradually crank up the dosage.
