So, I'm home.

Which means that they decided NOT to keep me today. Here's the play by play of today's events:

8am- I wake up and call Labor and Delivery like I was told. They have no idea what I am talking about and tell me that they will call me back in a half hour.

10am- Labor and Delivery still hadn't called me back, so I called them. Apparently they got really busy all of a sudden and forgot to call me back. They said that to call back at noon and they would let me know when they wanted me to come in.

10:15am- Labor and Delivery called me back and said that they thought that they were too full to take me, but apparently I was on the list to come in, so to come in whenever I wanted to.

12pm- We get to Labor and Delivery (I had to get ready first) and they send me to the room and hook me up to the monitors.

12:45pm- The doctor comes in and says that baby is looking great on the monitors and that I am still not having contractions. She checks me and I am still only 3cm dialated. She strips my membranes and says that I can come back tomorrow.

Here is where it gets frustrating.

I asked her, since she was the one that was going to be working in Labor and Delivery tomorrow what the plan was. She said that she was going to start out with pitocin because my cervix is soft enough for it to work. I asked her what would happen if the pitocin doesn't work. She said that she couldn't really tell me. So, I said, "Well, I will be leaving here with my baby, right? You wouldn't send me home, right?" She said that it just depends on what my cervix does and if I am making any progress at all. I asked about them breaking my water, and they said that because he is still high, if he doesn't move down any more that they would not be able to break my water because when pushing, his head could squeeze the umbilical cord causing the oxygen he is receiving to be cut off. So, that may not be possible. Ultimately, a c-section sounds like the only thing that is going to get this child out of me. It's not what I want, but it is looking like I don't have much choice in the matter.

SERIOUSLY?!?!?!? OMG. I just may murder someone if they try to send me home without my baby!!! I am FREAKING 10 days OVERDUE!!!! So, basically, if they TRY to send me home before Brandon is born, I am simply going to refuse to leave. I will tell them that they can either give me a c-section, or have security escort me out. This is beginning to get ridiculous. It is NOT healthy for a baby to be overdue by so much. Eventually, the placenta starts deteriorating, and baby gets so big that a vaginal delivery is impossible. So, I am trying very hard to be positive and hope that the pitocin will actually do what it is supposed to tomorrow.

Thank you to everyone that has been praying and thinking of us. We are trying very hard not to get upset about all of this, but we are ready to meet our baby. We do appreciate all of the thoughts and prayers!! Hopefully, the next update will be letting you all know that Brandon is here and all is right with the world.
