We're in...
Hello, loyal readers!
We are formally checked into the hospital, and our first impressions are really quite positive. The nurses have been very nice and very informative -- they are very focused on educating us about everything they are doing (I think they are being nice but a part of me also thinks the nursing staff are wary of lawsuits and take every precaution they can).
The first "dose" of medication has gone in and will stay in for 12 hours. If labor doesn't begin in the middle of the night, the next "dose" will begin at about 8:30 am tomorrow morning. We were told we'd meet her tomorrow sometime....that's Monday.
Here are some highlights thus far:
1. Jamie got to pick her meals for tomorrow. It felt a bit like a cruise -- they asked you to order one item from each column. For example, tomorrow, Jamie's breakfast will consist of the following: scrambled eggs, rice krispies, a bagel, a banana, skim milk, blueberry yogurt and grits. I think the cafeteria representative forgot to bring me my menu....
2. Our Wi-Fi is NOT working in the hospital but a special shout-out goes to Sarah Wright who helped Jamie score an Aircard to make her time out of the office as "connective" as possible. You can all thank her for this update!
3. Pillow-mania! We were advised by our hospital tour and the nurses to bring extra pillows. My Mom got us some extra pillows and, of course, Jamie's trusty Snoogle is by her side. The point of this story is that all the people in the hallway looked at us like we were Coneheads for bringing all the pillow apparatus in. Anyhow, it's here and I hope it assures us a restful night.
Wish us a good night of sleep, or a bouncing baby girl with an easy labor. Take your pick.
