It could only happen to us......

OH MY GOD.
I wasn't going to post about this, but Jason and I decided this was really too funny a story NOT to share. So, here it goes.

I now have pre-eclampsia (look it up if you don't know because I don't have time to explain )......this was diagnosed on Thursday due to a rise in my blood pressure, protein in my urine, a headache that came out of no where (that lasted for days), in addition to the wonderful swelling that has encompassed my legs from the knees down.

My doctor was considering it mild, but did not want it to progress. So, he started an induction yesterday morning--everyone WOULD have gotten their phone calls when the babies were born. We knew it was going to take all day and just kept immediate family members on alert.
When I got there they checked me and I was dilated to a 2 and 60% effaced.......which I had done on my own. To make a very long story short, they pumped me full of pitocin and by the end of the day I was smiling and not feeling contractions and again........dilated to a 2 and still only 60% effaced. Hmmmm.

Well, my doctor did not want to continue an induction that could have lasted for days and he did not feel it was the appropriate time for a c-section. So, basically I was sent home with strict bedrest orders--at 36 weeks! Ignore the previous post stating I can do whatever I want! I see him on Monday and we will decide the next course of action. Basically, he is hoping that my own body puts me into labor by then or near after.

Jason and I have decided to make this a laughable situation.........I mean really--who gets induced and it doesn't work?!?!? I didn't even know that was a possibility!!! Jason said they don't want to come out because of my stubborn streak.......who knows.....I just know that this is flipping UNBELIEVABLE.

So, I guess we are still on the waiting game. All bets are off now......these kids can pick their own darn day when they are going to get here. I'm just going to relax and enjoy the rest of the ride!
