In the hospital....

Last night, started having contractions 5 to 10 minutes apart for 2 hours and our little guy was being very quiet so we decided to come to the hospital. They admitted us, monitored me and baby dude and did a cervical check. My cervix is very far back but they think I am about 2-3 cm dilated, which is a bit of progress over the last week. My cervix is 70-80% effaced. Theyvhace decided to keep us overnight. After monitoring, we have been walking the halls and they just gave me an ambien to try to help me get some rest. My dh is running home to check on our dog and get a wedge pillow I forgot. Hardest part right now is that I am hungry and can not eat. Hopefully the 18th will be baby dude's birthday. I will post updates as I can. I am going to try to get some rest...

Updated. It is almost 5am and I was able to rest well with the ambien. I feel a little groggy at the moment. Still contracting but not sure if any progress has been made. Dr should hopefully be in soon after they get back results from more bloodwork. We should know more then about next steps. And my lovely dh is snoring away...lol!!

Updated: no progress overnight = ( starting the process to ripen my cervix before bringing in pitocin. I can already feel the impact....

Updated: started pitocin about 1pm.....this is going to hurt.....trying to tell myself millions of women give birth.....I can do this.
