First of all thank you to all the well wishes and prayer promises from everyone! It means so much. Bright and early...we are here at the hospital, ready as we'll ever be for Charlotte's arrival! I'm so nervous and could not sleep last night at all. It's one thing when your body spontaneously goes into labor but another when you have IVs, pitocin, and pushing to look forward to the next day. I'm finally hooked up to the IV (she got it on the first try thank GOODNESS but I'm already ready for it to be out) and the pitocin is flowing. I asked how long it would take to kick in and the nurse said maybe 30-40 minutes...not so much. She had not even left the room before the contractions had started- already 2-4 minutes apart. Hopefully my body just remembers what to do and will do it's thing quickly.
In the meantime the boys are at home with Boi & Pop (hopefully still sleeping). We can't wait to see what they think of Charlotte.
The dr should be here in about 1/2 hr to break my water and that's when things should really start rolling. We will keep you updated!
Gotta stay busy somehow right?!
