Day 3 Update 1

Slept pretty good although had bad cramping. Thank God for the Ambien though. I was knocked out until 3am and then up a few times until finally waking up for good around 7:30am. When they checked me at 7:30 they discovered that I am 1cm but the baby is still REALLY high. So they decided to put in another gel in to further soften my cervix. Since I've had that gel I'm cramping/contracting all over the place. They're not regular but they're very uncomfortable and although I know they're nothing next to real labor contractions -- they're hurty enough, thank you.

They'll check me soon (probably around 11:30am or noon) and then do the Pitocin. If the baby is still super high they might decide to scratch the induction and just do a C-Section. If I have a C-section it will be later tonight because they have 5 already scheduled today. Basically, it's all up in the air.

I'm fine with whatever. I'm on IV and just making it through.

More later -- if I can stand it!

Well, I'll just keep praying for a healthy delivery whichever way it happens. You seem to be managing your pain pretty well so far so keep on truckin!
