Prayers For Another Day

I’m going to make this short cuz my body is really hurting right now. I worked so hard yesterday, getting ready for today, cleaning, packing, preparing. I got the call around six in the morning and was pretty excited, however, they were not calling me in, they were postponing my induction until later that day. Later that day I got another call, this one from my doctor. She wasn’t calling me in either, the purpose of the call was to let me know that I had been bumped. They were apparently really busy and couldn’t fit us in.

“Forget that!” I thought, as I proceeded to call two of my sisters for “back up” on my “get this started” four mile walk. Am I crazy? Well, probably…but I lost my mucous plug yesterday, and I know that I’m close, and these constant yet random contractions are about to drive me nuts…so, maybe out of my mind is more like it.

Ok, back on track, I went in to the hospital, just to have my doctor check me for progress and she found that I was thinning and had progressed to a three dilated. She could feel my bag of waters and she stripped my membrane (gross) one more time. Now I have been contracting all day since then. I am exhausted and in pain and maybe, just maybe, I didn’t need to be induced today anyway. I guess I’ll find that out in the next few hours. as for now, I’m about to take a bath and go to bed. Please keep us in all your prayers for yet another day. I’ll update as much as possible.
