Tomorrow needs to get here NOW...well Wednesday!

Tomorrow night the doc will start to induce me. I have to get a med that will start to soften me and then in the morning on Wednesday, they will start me on some meds that start with a P, cant remember what it is called. If all goes as planned, then the meds will work, and Mr. Bradyn will be here healthy on September 2!!!

Today, they put me on the fetal monitor like usual, and the nurse came in and said that there was a dip in the heart rate, but that it went back up, but that they were leaving me on the monitor to make sure. Ofcourse, that scared me, and she didnt come back forever...then the doc came and he said he saw the dip but that since then everything looked great. That still makes me nervous...any moms out there know if this is normal? The doc took me off the monitor, so I am assuming everything was normal. Just scares me...I mean we have gotten this far, I dont want anything wrong to happen.

YEsterday, a lady across the hall was having a baby. She was screaming so loud it scared me soooooooo much! I mean she was really screaming....like she was being murdered or something. I was kinda embarassed for her....I am scared now that I am going to scream like that and make a full of myself. I do plan on getting an epidrual, so I am hoping that it helps out a lot. I am scared for labor because I am scared something is going to happen to me! I know I worry too much, but I feel like this is all so sureal! I have waited for this day all my life! I cant wait to hold my baby boy in my arms. Bob is pretty nervous too...I dont blame him. He has been so awesome through this whole process...he is the best husband ever...he has been through so much!!!!

Please pray all goes well with delivery! I thank you all for being there for us through these last nine months! We cant wait to share our blessing with you!

Hey those things are normal and they are probably giving you pitocin... sometimes referred to as "pit" not sure I spelled that right?? It will usually get people into labor but for most you go from no pain into pain... so I would look at that epidural. I had pit and no epidural not recommended... but it can be done. Pit can take a little bit to get in your system and started...every person is different. Once mine started I delivered in 30 minutes! My labor was 30 minutes... not bad but not typical for the your first child! Good luck! : )

You'll definitely be in our prayers!! Hope it goes smoothly and quickly for you! I didn't have an epidural with Riley (16 hour labor), but did with Lincoln. I definitely reccommend it :)!
