Labor and Delivery

39 weeks and 3 days. I was hoping that I'd go into labor on my own, but looks like Baby Boy is going to be stubborn. We headed to Spectrum for my labor induction at 5:00 this morning.


All ready to have a baby!


All hooked up and waiting for labor to start.

When we got here this morning, the hospital was under a drill and was running on generators, including no a/c! With temps expected to once again be in the upper 80's today, the doctors did not seem happy to be without the it. Thankfully, full power finally came back on around 7:30. So far, not much action, so I'm passing the time by updating our blog, surfing the internet, and watching tv. Jason's already been down to the cafeteria for breakfast (since I wouldn't let him stop at McDonald's on the way!), and is now taking a walk. He missed this part of Hannah's labor, as I called him from the hospital when he was at work. My doctor has a couple of surgeries this morning, so she's keeping my pitocin dose low until she's available. I'm hoping that my body starts naturally responding to the low dose and this is all I need. I've had a few moderately strong contractions. Hopefully they'll pick up soon!
