6CM
Doctor just came in and examined Jen. Great news as she’s dialating well now. 6cm to be exact. Right now they are wheeling in all kinds of equipment, getting ready for the delivery. It’s getting pretty exciting now. Jen’s aunt Marie brought me a large iced coffee, so I’m ready to go. Apparantly I have […]
Dinner
Beef and broccoli stirfry over white rice. I had to get a side of fries because they looked so good.
Another Check by the Doctor
She said shes significantly more along than this morning. She said she will check again in about 2 hours and see. The Contractions are significally more severe and rhythmic. Dialation is 3cm, so still a ways to go. I’m off to a delicious dinner in the Cafeteria while Jen rests.
Epidural is in.
She’s feeling hardly any pain. She gets an exam in about 45 minutes to see how dilated she is.
Epidural time
She’s had enough. Time for the epidural.
Its starting to hurt
So they kicked up the pitocin quite a bit and Jens starting to feel the pain. We just had the epidural question rise and they said it happens relatively fast. Like 5 minutes after it is ordered. So that’s great news.
Important Research
Here’s Jen doing some VERY important research on what’s the next step now that her water is broke and Pitocin has been kicked up to like 12… Oh wait… that can’t be good news… Is Britney Spears really doing that? haha… Of course she’s just reading People.
What’s your pain scale rating?
Thanks Mike for sharing this one… TOO funny Childbirth is a 9! [youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGzrSMtGkRg&w=425&h=344]
Sprung a Leak
Well, the doctor came in and broke Jen’s water…. Here we go. Contractions are still far apart and Jen barely feels them. But they are consistant.
Hi!
Just wanted to say hi!
Monitor mania
Here’s Jen’s belly all strapped with monitors. One is for the baby’s heartbeat,(which EVERYONE keeps saying looks Awesome); and the other is to measure the contractions.
Room with a view
Heres the limited view out our window… (can you tell we are just sitting around waiting…lol)
Fancy Artwork
So as Jen naps, I find myself staring at this ugly painting. No offense Nancy Lund for your painting, but it really clashes with the room… lol
