... at the hospital, and we won't be leaving without the Bean. We arrived a little before seven, but since mine isn't exactly an emergency situation, we had to wait a little over an hour (in our room here) to see doctor and get examined. I now have an IV (because there are some meds they have to start giving me soon) and am listening to the Bean's galloping horse heartbeat.OK. So now for the really good news. Who would have thought I would ever get so excited to hear the words "you've dilated a centimeter." Yes! I'll take anything! What I'm wondering is, did the Castor oil help? Probably. Though, even with hindsight, I would not take that again.
The bad news. I didn't realize I would be able to eat once I arrived. I know that's the case when you're in labor, but since this treatment is supposedly to help accomplish that, I thought I would still be able to eat. I was wrong. And lunch was the last meal I had today. Oops. Since I have dilated a little, the only thing they allowed me were a few graham crackers and orange juice. From here on out, it's ice chips. Even if it takes 24 hours! I'm already planning my first post-baby meal though. A large sandwich from Subway; something that's been off-limits for the past nine months!OK. I think I'm about to sign off... Getting nervous. First time to be spending the night at a hospital! Here are a couple of photos to give you an idea of what it looks like here in the room...
