Hospital Trip #1

Went to the hospital tonight. It was the first trip for the pregnancy. Lynnell thought that her water broke, so we went in to be sure.




Here's where the magic is going to happen.



Turns out tonight isn't the night. Bummer. I was hoping that it would be. The nurses (Yes they have names. I just don't want to divulge any information that somebody doesn't want me to.) were great. They got Lynnell all hooked up to monitor the baby and the contractions.




Then when we learned that the water hadn't broken we were instructed (by the nurse) that we should walk around for about an hour to see if we could encourage labor to happen a little sooner.



It didn't work. So we came home. Lynnell just told me (litterally as I'm writting this) that tonight is going to be a long night. Thanks a lot nurses. That's a mean trick to play. Get someones labor going and then send them home. HA! Good one. I'm just kidding.

You know, as I'm writing this, I think it might be prudent to watch what I say about the doctors or nurses. Now that they know about the blog, they can use my secret public journal against me. I'm sure they won't though. They seem like great people...I hope. ...That's a joke. I better make up for my shenanigans now...

So, to the nurses and doctors, just know that I appreciate you guys and your expertise, and the jokes are just that. See you tomorrow. (I hope)

  • pretty pretty please... don't post any pictures of the actual pregnancy. That wouldn't be good for my stomach.

  • I'm rooting for tonight! Im on shift and gave a tentative 0300 guess, but that is not helpfull if nothing happens... it probably is more hurtfull because time feels like forever for you two at this point!
