Forty-One Weeks, Two Days: Cervadil

greeting from my hospital bed.

im pretty proud of myself for figuring out how to blog from my hospital bed. but its not the easiest interface. for example. capitalization and punctuation: not so much. i havent figured h out how to capitalize or add commas or exclamation points.

and im scared to try to edit.

so this will be rough.

i cant remember what i wrote abousdt cerv
adil. and its too much work to go back (excuse the its a

grrr. sorrym no editing. like i said.

the castor oil. it caused painful contractions every

8 to 10 minutes for a while but then died down.


i had a few painful contractions during the night that intensified for a while witht the cervadil but then died down.

oh. i got admitted first.

now im in the hospital. its weird to be here and not feel sick. my friend a has been great but  i finally sent her home to get some sleep for the big day tomorrow. my midwife is coming tonight to check me and probably give me another cervadil. then the plan is tentatively to start pitocin 12 hours later.

im not sure what i feel. a little apprehensive but not too bad. the idea that i am going to have a baby out of this is totally surreal.

thinking of shannon and finn again tonight... grateful the news is better than she feared, but still worried and sad for then.
