Right this minute(it was a Thursday even!), I was in the hospital waiting for my girl. She was due on the 19th and we had waited an extra week. Our first child had been 8 1/2 pounds and 19 hours of induced labor ending with forceps and a vacuum, so my Dr. didn't want to wait any longer. Social Butterfly had a different idea.

We got to the hospital at 6 am for an induction. I had the medication placed to soften my cervix as I was not at all dilated or even soft. This baby was not coming out, ever! This was a theme through 3 of my 4 pregnancies. My babies reallly liked being in the womb! Anyway, I was given this medication 3 times over the course of the day, was having contractions, but nothing regular. Just enough to be painful and piss me off! Mark and I walked and walked the halls of the hospital, to no avail. My Doctor decided we should go home and come back the following morning at 5 AM to start the pitocin. He actually thought my body would kick itself into labor and we would be back in the middle of the night. No such luck. I am telling you, this baby girl was staying put.
So, at 3 in the afternoon we went home...
You, like we did,will have to wait until tomorrow for the rest of the story!lol!
