Well this certainly isn’t how I thought my day would be playing out.

Bored, bored bored. That’s my update.

We got to the hospital at noon and they didn’t start the Cervidil until 3:45pm. So in the meantime they had plenty of time to poke at me mercilessly — one blood draw and three attempts at an IV. They finally got it on the third try but the first one was my favorite, that was the one where they hit the nerve in my hand.

Since then not much has been happening although by my own assessment I seem to be having minor contractions every three minutes. We’ll see when they come in to check on me. Generally not the best idea to interpret all your own data and share with the internet before you really know anything, but oh well. As I said I’m kinda bored. Inductions are boring. Bored, bored, bored. Obviously, since I am BLOGGING during labor. I guess I have some spare time since I already took a nap and had my dinner. I think I’ll go to bed early, like 8pm since they’re planning to start Pitocin at around 2am.

I’ll update more later — hopefully with a great story about the fastest induction of all time. That would be cool.
