Impending delivery

The induction was scheduled for 10/16. A Wednesday. But I was allowed to go off bedrest on Tuesday. On Monday I sat up for the first time. It felt so good. I had a lot of contractions, so I tried to take it easy. On Tuesday I was fully off of bedrest, and nothing that I did brought any contractions. I had a fun day though. I got my own drinks and chatted out at the nurses station. 

I didn't sleep well my whole stay at the hospital, and the night before my induction was no exception. But I thought it was great to be able to plan the day!  I woke up and showered and curled my hair. I even put on a little makeup. I expected to have a baby by noon, and we discussed options for pulling the boys out of school if she didn't get rushed to the nicu. Dave arrived at 8:30ish, but was relatively no help this time, so Brooke was my labor coach as well as my awesome nurse Tricia. Labor story to come.
