...if not sooner, but I highly doubt it. It looks as though he is going to have to be taken from his home hahahaha I still have not done anything, as far as dilation or effacement. Nothing! Zero! Are you kidding me?
Dr. Macey really believes that it will be a c-section. He says that he has had a few women in the same situation as me and they all turn into c-sections. After talking to a lot of people, I have probably had a dozen or more tell me that they were not doing anything and after being induced they ended up having to do a c-section. Apparently you can only have pitocin for so long and if your body is not moving in that direction already it is just really hard to get your body where it needs to be. So in the end you are completely exhausted and you have gone through a long labor only to have to do a c-section. I have just prayed that whatever happens is what is meant to be and I am good with that. At first I was a little bummed that I would not get to experience a vaginal birth, but then I just thought about it and realized that I did not know if I would ever experience this at all. I am just grateful and blessed to have this little guy and be here in this moment right now, no mater how he comes into it. We are just ready to meet him and have him apart of our lives, healthy and happy.
So at the appointment Dr. Macey checked me and nothing, then he went to listen to his heart and Cole went crazy! :) My whole belly was shaking and you could just see movements everywhere. Dr. Macey's eyes got big and he laughed a little. Then he put the monitor on and it started beeping. I said what is what? he said " Oh, that is just him screaming get me out of here!" He said I think he wants out, but he doesn't know what to do to get out. His heart rate was the highest it has been, 175. I think he was mad and had gotten all worked up :)
Dr. Macey looked at my chart, told me to get dressed and he would be right back.When he came back he asked if believed in superstition? I said no, why? he said the stars must be aligning correctly because my flight has been put back, so lets have this baby Wednesday. I said seriously? he said yeah, why not? Be here at 5am and we will do this. I said what does superstition have to do with this? he said Wednesday is the 13th; I said my dad was born on the 13th so we are good. I still was not sure if he was kidding or not, but apparently not. He came in with the paper work and said it was a done deal, so do not be late.
So that is what we know. We know that we are to be at Baptist hospital on Wednesday morning at 5am and I guess we will see from there. It is all so crazy to think about, but very exciting. We will post as soon as we can to let you know when he is here and how everything went. Please pray that everything goes smooth and that this little boy arrives healthy. It has been a long time coming-waiting on this little man and now the time is here. It is really just hard to believe. We are SO excited!!!
I had to go to recovery for a few hours after I was put back together. I got sick a few times from the anesthesia, but I also think from them pushing on my belly/uterus. I know that did not help. They would check me about every 10-15 mins and push on my uterus. I cannot remember why now, but it was sensitive and uncomfortable. After I left recovery I went to my room, very drowsy. They had given me finagrin for the nausea, which makes you very tired. I could barely hold my eyes open. My whole family was there and Casey's brother Lincoln and wife Pam. They all came in to tell me how beautiful he was and congratulate us. We were at the hospital til Saturday and now we are home. We are adjusting to our life of three and just enjoying this blessing that God has blessed us with.
