Fun Weekend

We had such a great weekend this past weekend! It was Brian's 10 year reunion and we had a blast! Friday night we went to a park and met some classmates and took a tour of the very different high school. They have added onto the building quite a bit since we were all there. The cafeteria was pretty much what looked familiar ;). Saturday night was the actual reunion and there were so many people that came, it was a great turnout! At least I thought it was. Even though I was class of '99, it was still really fun to see familiar faces.

Saturday night was also our first night away with 'no' kids since June! And in June, I was 9 months preggo, so that doesn't count. Carter did good for grandma and grandpa - at least I hope he did. They said he did, but they wouldn't tell us otherwise! We weren't too worried about the other 2 stooges, they're pretty easy and on a fairly simple schedule.

Update on 'us': Evan's newest thing is sitting around putting puzzles together and singing songs. Mason's thing now is 'testing' us to our limits. That's always fun, but he still cracks us up with his comedic style. Carter's newest thing is giggling...he's still working on it, but it's so frickin' cute when he does! He'll be 3 months old tomorrow. As far as I'm concerned, that's crazy.

We had a WONDERFUL Sunday of doing absolutely nothing. I LOVE those days! Brian so greatly let me sleep in, I slept until 12:42pm!!! Well, I woke up to feed Carter about 4 times, but still, it was sleep and I'll take it! Bless that amazing husband of mine!!! We were in our PJ's all day and kicked back. The boys enjoyed play-do and we watched Shrek later in the evening. Movie nights are always a blast. We also did make it outside for about an hour to play (it gets dark so early now!), it was too nice to be locked in all day! We ran into our neighbors and had a wonderful timing chatting and catching up from the week, and Brian and Josh played a bit of frisbee which is always fun for them :). That's about it!

Fun Day!

Yay! It was a pretty good day today =). Evan and Mason spent the day at Grammy's in Stillwater and they had a blast! So I just had Carter today! He and I did some shopping at the Woodbury Lakes...wow, I haven't been shopping for myself in a VERY long time. It was pretty intimidating.

So with all those stores and all the clothes I was trying on (for Brian's reunion this weekend), I didn't find anything!!! There was a pair of pants at the Gap that I really liked, but of course they didn't have my size (which right now is the wonderful leftover baby flub fatness size). So I was leaving, almost in tears, got to the car, fed and changed Carter, let him play in the back of my car for a while so he could stretch and then I called Brian because I needed someone to talk to!

Anywhoobie, I ended up calling the Maplewood Gap to see if they had the pants I liked in my size and no luck. Then I called the Mall of America Gap and they had them in my size! So tonight we had a family night at the Mall of America and it was a ton of fun, I even found a top!!! Evan and Mason had quite the long day, but they were great at the mall and also had fun. I wish we could have had more time there, all the boys did so great! But we had to get home because it's a preschool night :).

I can't wait until I lose all this baby weight and then some to do some more shopping for ME! I think that'll be my reward...get some nice clothes that fit well. My comfy pants that are about 8 years old and all my Kohl's $5 patriotic raggedy t-shirts have seen better days.

I'm looking forward to this weekend, it's Brian's 10 year high school reunion and I'm anxious to see everyone and what people have been up to. I know it'll be fun! Friday night is the homecoming game, and before that there's going to be a couple other 'reunion' events, including a tour of the high school (it's changed). I'm excited to roam those halls again, with our kids in toe! That'll be interesting. 10 years ago, we sure didn't picture where we'd be today!!! Then Saturday is the reunion, plus a night out for us!!!

My parents are babysitting and right now we're working really hard with Carter to get him used to a bottle! He's only used to me right now...so it's been really challenging. I went out and bought a different type of bottle and he seems to do ok with it. He actually took it earlier today with only about 5 minutes of screaming. Then tonight we gave him another one before bed to help him practice, and he took it pretty well! I'll be taking him to my parents tomorrow night to have them practice with him...I really want Saturday night to go well at home so I can be at ease and have fun at the reunion.

All righty, enough blabbing. Good night!

Perspective

Today has been a better day. A little hectic, but much better. I took all 3 stooges to the grocery store today, after I picked Evan up from preschool. It was quite an adventure, and went pretty well...except the little guy cried most of the time and the boys were being really silly. They had to walk since I needed a full cart and somewhere to put the baby. It was crazy, but worked well.

An elderly man stopped me in an aisle, and said how good my boys were and how they were good helpers...as they are acting really silly and the baby is crying. He then decided it was a good time to tell me a little story...but it was so sweet, I'm glad he did. Here's how the story goes:

The man says he's a great grandfather to a 2 1/2 year old girl. One day, she was sitting on here Dad's lap, and they were all together, and she asked what time it was. Her Dad told her to look at the clock and see what it says. So she looked up at the clock, examined it for a while, looked back at her Dad, and says "the clock says tick, tick, tick...". How cute is that?!

I then had to pause and thank him for sharing his great story. It made me laugh, and also made me realize, by looking at him - a great grandfather - how quickly time passes. I looked back my 'silly' boys and then glanced at my little one, now smiling at me, and thought how lucky I am to have such a great family. The elderly man walked on and we all continued our shopping. Oh - and of course, Evan has to make a comment on the man's hearing aids by saying 'he has silly putty in his ears', I only hope he didn't hear that comment...only from the mouths of babes!!!

I think every day, by any chance, angels are sent to us to remind us how great things really are. My day yesterday was insane...I look back at my last blog and laugh about it today. It really wasn't a bad day, actually it was a typical day! Then today, I knew I had a lot going on as well, but once that man talked to me, I felt almost like I had a weight lifted off my shoulders. It was really weird, but I pretty much smiled throughout the entire rest of the store. Children are a blessing, and we need to enjoy them every day. Even when they drive us nuts! ;) Their carefree laughter, hugs and kisses, the funny comments they make and the smiles that can make anyone's day better...it makes me feel so blessed...and blessed I am.

Until next time...

A Bad Day

Today has been a bad day. Usually, I can work through these days, but I feel the need to vent about it today.

It starts out where Brian is going to be gone the entire day, obviously going to work, but only for a 1/2 day, then heading to the cabin for the rest of the day to help take out the dock and jet skis...for those of you who know how I feel about this place, I'm sure you know how my mood was already struck this morning.

Then I wake up to the boys being LOUD and obnoxious...nothing too new, but in the mornings I'm not a very nice person...and waking up to loud is not going to put me in a happy place.

After I get the boys taken care of, I thought I'd hop into the shower since the baby was still sleeping away in his crib. I get out of the shower and I heard the baby starting to wake up, which was great, I really needed to feed him.

The following may be harmful to those with weak stomachs:
Then, I hear the dog start dry heaving on our bed, so I yelled at him to get down and I tried to get him outside...but I was FAR too late. As he jumped off our bed, he threw up all over. When I say all over, I mean ALL OVER. There was a puke trail from our bed to the door...and not only did he just puke, but it lovingly sprayed from side to side as if he was shaking his head...beautiful image, isn't it?!?

So, here I am, running around in my underwear with leaky boobs (yeah, tmi..deal with it), baby crying, dog puking, the boys being curious and excited about all the commotion, the cats started chasing each other, then the phone rings...and it's one of those political recording things that beyond pisses me off (we had one of those calls at 10:44PM last night...yes, I said PM).

So I clean up the yak, clean myself up, get dressed, get the baby and finally feed him, get the boys sat down to eat more breakfast - stinkers were still hungry...then Mason accidentally spilled his entire bowl of cereal onto the table and floor. THAT was fun. Then Evan got up and wacked his head on my elbow...can you see where my mood is going here???

I then had an 11:30am appointment to get the boys haircuts. Luckily, going out and about went great and their hair looks good. I'm starting to figure out this 'timing' thing with Carter. We had a couple other errands to run, I got 2 out of the 5 that I needed to get done done, so that was a huge accomplishment. On our way home, I almost lost it emotionally, but I held it together. (I'm still dealing with some sensitivity right now...ugh.) Got home, got the kids lunch, then Evan spilled his grapes onto the table and floor...and oh wow, you'd think the world was about to end the way he acted. It was grapes, totally not a big deal, but to an almost 5 year old, it was a HUGE deal.

I hope the rest of the evening goes ok, we are going to order pizza and have a picnic outside. Hopefully. I hope Brian comes home sooner than later...although he really did help by sending me a sweet boquet of flowers...he's so romantic and he knew about my day, I emailed him earlier...but there were quite a few f'n-heimers flying around in the email...so I thought I'd blog about everything once I calmed down!

Well, I better order the pizza now, the boys are getting antsy for their picnic.

Until next time...

Busy Week =)

We've had quite the crazy week! Carter had his 2 month appointment...he now weighs a whopping 13.6 lbs and he grew 3 1/4"! He's smiling up a storm and being cute as ever. Evan started preschool on Thursday morning - he goes twice a week to our church preschool program. He absolutely loved it and can't wait to go back. Mason started ECFE on Thursday night and he enjoyed it...except for the part where Daddy went to go talk with the other parents (it's our first separating class with him). Brian went to a new doctor, healing, helper something or another this morning...I don't know her title...but he was there for about 4 hours and had to leave for a work golf thing (she would have worked on him longer if he didn't have to go) and he feels really good!!! I'm so excited, he told me that he hasn't felt this good in a looooong time! Maybe this will actually be a cure for his headache!!! Keep your fingers crossed ;-). Now he's enjoying an afternoon of golfing, hopefully that will help him feel even better :). As for myself, just the same old routine. Kids and the weight loss effort...'sigh'.

Yay for Mavey!

So our dog is a-ok!!! Thank goodness :). Apparently he has a fatty thing that older dogs develop. Poor guy's gettin' old. Luckily it's in a spot that won't cause any trouble, however, if it gets any bigger we may have to get it removed. But it should be ok. I feel bad for him, walking around with a lump on his back. Oh well, he doesn't seem to care ;). We are just thrilled that he's ok!

:-(

We are freaking out. Brian found a huge lump on our dog's side/back area. He's going to the vet at 8:30am tomorrow morning. We are so nervous and of course thinking the worst. Please keep our sweet dog in your prayers...if anyone reads this. Poor Maverick.

Update

It's been a while since my last post, so I thought I was due for a new one. Things have been pretty well. We spent last Tuesday at the Fair and had an awesome time. We were there for about 9 hours and it was great. The kids did fantastic and we all had so much fun and of course ate wonderful food!

Tiny butt (we have nicknamed our kids: Big butt, Little butt and Tiny butt) has been doing great. He's only been waking up once a night for about 2 weeks now and it's been so nice. Of course it's hard to get up, but it goes well, he eats and then he's awake for about 1-2 hours then goes back to bed. He also has been smiling so much and we've really been enjoying that! Yay!

Big butt (aka Evan) starts preschool on September 11th at our Church. He's really excited, and so are all of us! He needs something to stimulate his brain because I'm not doing a very good job at it right now! He had his last soccer game last Monday and they actually won! How ironic it was the last game, but it was fun...oh, they don't keep score but my hubby always does. He's a bit competetive.

Little butt (aka Mason) has been doing ok. He's had a bit of a rough patch these past few days. We've all been suffering these ridiculous summer colds and of course, poor Mason ends up with the brunt of it. He has a double ear infection and strep (at least we think he has strep, the Doc looked at him but didn't bother to do the strep test since he was giving him amoxicilin anyways for the ear infections). We were up with him all night 2 nights ago due to a high fever and him being absolutely miserable and crying in pain. It was heart wrenching. Tonight he was perking up, his fever is pretty much gone (thank goodness) and he seems a little better. It's so sad when they're sick, it just tears my heart out.

Hubby (aka, biggest butt...j/k...kind of ;) ) has been doing ok. His head is still really bad and I'm at a point where I feel like we're out of options. The poor guy has done everything. He's seen everyone he can see. He's done all the tests that can be done...apparently. I still feel like there could still be something, but where do we go now? Who can he see at this point that just might have an answer?

As for myself, things have been busy as usual. I had my 6 week post natal appointment and unfortunately I'm still healing and Doc thinks I've got a touch of baby blues. Ugh. Oh well. I attempted my weight loss journey a couple weeks ago and completely failed. I guess I am just not ready yet. I really need some strong motivation right now, because I desperately need to lose this baby weight. I feel like I just want to climb into a hole and come out when I look and feel better. Can people hibernate? That would be interesting. Hopefully things will start looking up soon and I can find that deeply needed motivation...and time to actually exercise! Time...that would be nice. Life just goes by way too fast.

That's pretty much it for now. Good morning, good afternoon, good evening and good night.

Life's Crazy...

with 3 kids that is!!! Holy smacks, I never thought it would be this insane. I knew adding another member to our family would be challenging, but whoa! Three kiddos is a lot of work! I've managed to make a couple 'outings' this week all by myself, and I have to say, I'm quite proud I was able to do it! I even ventured to Target yesterday with all 3 of them and it went pretty well...except for our cart that had a broken wheel. But the dressing room attendant called the front and got us a new one. That was very sweet. Carter cried for about 10 minutes, then finally fell asleep. Evan and Mason did really good...I did bribe them however. If they were very good through the entire store they could pick out a candy bar. Then we swung through Wendy's drive-thru (I know, I totally deserve the mother of the year award ;) ). I couldn't believe how well the boys ate their chicken nuggets. They ate them all! That's a record in this house. But then Mason accidentally spilled his entire milk on the floor, and chair...and table...right when Carter woke up screaming to eat. It was a pretty stressful 15 minutes of cleaning and listening to 2 kids crying. Mason was bawling because he was mad his milk spilled and carter was HUNGRY. Oh well, such is life.

Last night we had our neighborhood national night out and it was so much fun! My amazing neighbor Kellie put the whole thing together and did a great job! It was very organized and a ton of fun! We enjoyed root beer floats, water balloon toss contests and talking with the neighbors. The water balloon toss contest was hilarious! It was so much fun and the boys are still talking about it today - thank you Kellie for doing EVERYTHING!!!

Well I could write my typical novel right now, but I'll try to save more for another day :). Even though this is a long blog...again. I guess I write like I talk...I don't know how to shut up!

Update

I thought it was time for a little update...

Evan started soccer last Monday, and it's been really fun. He had his first game this past Monday and has another game tonight. It's hilarious to watch all these 4 year olds chasing a ball around and not really knowing what to do with it, except if it gets by them to kick it. It's pretty fun, although it gets really hot sitting there in the middle of a field under the sun! But I guess that's all part of having kiddos in sports!

Mason's doing pretty good, he's been cracking us up lately. We took his 'binker' away last week due to his naughty behavior. We warned him, he was naughty anyways, so we took it away. He cried that night for it, but I figured that this was our opportunity to take it away, so we sucked it up and that's the end of it, and he's been great since. He's been talking A LOT more since it's been gone, and he's so funny to listen to. He holds these crazy conversations and tries so hard to explain certain things that are so important to him.

Carter's doing good, just being a baby. He has a lot of fussy moments that are sometimes very difficult to handle. I'm kind of in that phase of where I want to quit breastfeeding...he nurses all the time! I'll stick it out though, I know it's just a phase! I love having portable food that's good for him :). Plus the perk of weight loss is nice! Carter's also starting to finally develop little rolls on his thighs, yay! It's so cute, I love that baby fat.

As for myself, I've started to try to get back on track with weight watchers. I tried last week and it lasted 2 days :(. I started stress eating! Weird, huh?! ;) Well, I started again today, and I feel quite a bit more confident that I'll be able to stick to it. I love that weight watchers has a nursing plan for mommys. Brian's 10 year reunion is this fall and that is my motivation! I'm hoping I'll be able to stick it out...I can't wait to get into my shorts! And my jeans...and my regular shirts...etc!

Brian's doing pretty good except for his headache which has been bad again these past couple days. I think he needs a really long and good massage! He should get that scalp massage thing that we had at our spa retreat...he needs that! I feel so bad for him, I don't know how he functions every day. He's a tough cookie. Mmmm...cookies...

Better go, Mason woke up early from nap (stinker) and I gotta try to cut the baby's finger nails before he wakes up. Until next time...

Update

Whew, it's been a while! Life's pretty insane with 3 kids and I'm still 'attempting' to adjust! Evan and Mason are having a lot of fun with their new little brother, they've been really good! Carter's doing pretty good himself, he's been sleeping in his crib for a week now at night and he wakes up about 2 times to eat. At his 2nd night feeding though it's his awake time and he's up for an hour and a half. It's not bad at all, and I really can't complain, but the exhaustion is really starting to kick my butt! Brian's been busy at work...I'm wishing so much he could be home :(. It's so hard during the day. Oh well, such is life.

On the 'headache' front for Brian, he had a follow up with the homeopathic doctor and he's in a detox mode right now. Poor guy. He's been really good about taking his supplements and eating right, he's trying really hard to get rid of his headache. He's noticed he's been better which is a HUGE improvement. We are really crossing our fingers this detox thing works! It's a 25 day detox and he started 2 days ago. Let's hope it works.

Well I guess that's about it for now. My 2 year old just woke up from nap and he's mad about something. Figures. He's always whiney and cranky...just like his Mommy ;-).

The Arrival of...

Carter Shane Darling, 9lbs 3.2oz, 21" long! He's as cute as can be and we are so in love! Everything went well! We came in at 6pm last night and started cervidil, I had contractions all night long and didn't sleep at all. I felt really sick this morning, nauseous and shaky...eventually that subsided. They were worried about my blood pressure - it was all over the place. It calmed down after a while, however they had to take blood and check some things to make sure I was ok. After all that chaos, they started the pitocin and that started working fairly quickly. I decided to try the epidural, after talking with Brian and the nurse and even the amazing anesthesologist who really calmed me down, and it WORKED!!! For the first time I had a great epidural. Brian and I were able to rest for about 2 hours, then things got nuts. The nurse had checked me and I was at a 7, they were going to put in an internal monitor for contractions because the regular monitor wasn't picking anything up, so she went to go talk to the in charge nurse and call the Doc...when she left the room, Carter decided it was time to come out! I had intense pain and had to push...so Brian pushed the nurse button and there was no response, he then hit the emergency button and again no response! At this point he went out into the hallway, saw the nurses standing there - our nurse and the in charge nurse who was talking to our Doc, and he clapped really loud...it was kinda funny. They came running down and the doc was up in our room about 2 minutes later...3 contractions and a lot of hard work and out he came :). He was our runt of the bunch weighing 0.6oz less than Evan. It was a very rapid delivery, but went very well. That's about it :). He is here!!! =) Yay!

We're in the Hospital and we have Internet

Quick update - we're at the hospital. We got here about 6-ish tonight, got monitored for about an hour. Then the nurse put in the cervidil and I had to lay on my side for 2 hours. When we got here I was still on dilated to a 1-2...they won't probably check now until morning - when they take the cervidil out. However, my contractions have picked up some which is good...hopefully these ones are doing something! Bring it on!!! They have to keep me hooked up to the monitors all night, which is kind of a bummer. I'm sure I'll get all tangled up a hundred times ;-). Hopefully in the morning I'll be dilated more than a 1-2, otherwise it's going to be a LONG day tomorrow. We will try to keep updating as much as possible with what's going on. It's really fun to have internet here!

Maybe Baby???

The OB department from L&D called and said they spoke to our Doc. He gave us 2 options...we can come in at 5pm and get the gel and then go home...or we can come in at 6pm, get cervidil, stay overnight and start pitocin in the morning. We're going in at 6pm. Hopefully they won't call back and end up telling us there's no room at the inn! I feel like that'd be our luck right now. I've been still having contractions, and I'm so ready. The contractions actually have been pretty good this morning, and I've been really nauseated, so I think things are definitely getting ready. Mother nature just likes to take her sweet time with me. I'm hoping the cervidil tonight will kick things into high gear and I won't need the pitocin, but who am I kidding?! I can hope right??? Well, let's hope for a successful induction and a safe healthy delivery for our new son! Hopefully we'll be meeting him by tomorrow! We'll do our best to keep everyone posted.

Another Biggin'

Our ultrasound went well this morning. Baby looks good and is approximately 9 lbs give or take 1 lb (yikes). I spoke with the Doctor this morning after the ultrasound, and he said he will call labor and delivery and try to get me in tomorrow to get a 'gel' thing done. So I have to call at 12noon and hope to go in about 1pm. He's hoping the gel treatment will be enough to get things going. Otherwise I'll probably be heading home and trying again another day. I sure hope that's not the case! He seemed pretty confident it'll do the trick, and I really hope he's right. I guess we'll see what happens. Wish us luck!!!

Hmmm....

I called the Doc's office with a little preggo concern - everything is perfectly fine...but...

The Doctor forgot he was going out of town next weekend for the 4th and he wanted to schedule an ultrasound for us to see how big our little guy is - the ultrasound is tomorrow morning. Depending on the verdict of the size, we 'may' be induced this weekend sometime or early next week. Our Doc wants to deliver our baby - that's how he rolls! I'm excited for the ultrasound - I'm taking my Mom with me. Evan has his last t-ball in the morning and we really don't want to miss it - so my Dad is going to go with Brian and the boys to t-ball. That'll be a good 'boy' outing. My Mom seems pretty excited, she's never seen an ultrasound before, except for our pictures. It should be interesting and I guess we'll keep everyone posted...pray for us that we don't have a 12 pounder cookin' in there!

It's kind of interesting how things took a a little turn!

Ugh

I seriously can't handle this anymore. These contractions are driving me crazy. The kids are driving me crazy. The pain I'm in is driving me crazy. How much longer do I have to go through this?! I know it'll be soon and happen before we know it...but I'm getting worried. I'm freaking out about the size of him, I'm freaking out that last night he was moving for 3 HOURS and wouldn't stop and it was so unbelievably painful, and I felt him 'shake' weird. I'm worried he's stressed in there and my body's not responding. I'm worried about his health. I just have this 'feeling' he needs to come out NOW, and I'm honestly not just saying that. This is killing me, but nobody will do anything. WHY!?!?! ARGH!!! I just want to cry. I have never been more frustrated in my entire life.

To try...or not to try...that is the question.

Castor oil. Do I do it? Do I not do it? Hmmm.... I am starting to get very desperate. I am afraid of my hormones...and the sake of my family ;-). I just almost took out the hose and sprinkler in the backyard. How tight does it really have to be?! And why was the hose on?! Can you imagine my fury when I couldn't get the hose untightened from the sprinkler and I got sprayed like crazy?! I was throwing around f'enheimers like they were going out of style! Seriously, I'm going to lose it. I really think I am. Ok, I won't. But honestly, these retarded contractions are getting on my last nerve. Especially when I know they're not doing anything except bugging me. I'm getting pushed to the max over here...and I can't do it anymore! ARGH!!! Maybe I should lay down.

Ya know, I've been reading all my complaints in the past couple days...and I am sorry to anyone who is actually reading these. I'm such a whiner. And what's funny is that VERY SOON I'll be looking back on these blogs and I'll have a baby in my arms and 2 toddlers running around! I know it'll be here soon and yadda yadda yadda...but oofta, it's hard right now! What's it going to be like with a 4 1/2 year old, a 2 year old and a newborn??? Hmmm...maybe I shouldn't be in such a hurry for delivery...even though I'm miserable :).

I'm really starting to freak out about baby's size. About a month ago, I had an ultrasound that said he was 6-7 lbs already. I'm measuring right on, but that doesn't really mean a lot, does it?! This is nuts. Can you tell my hormones are psycho?!?

Doc appt update

We went to the doc this morning, and unfortunately...THE BABY IS STILL IN THERE! Ugh. He felt really bad about our experience last night, but said to 'hang in there'. Yeah yeah. He said there's risks with inducing when it's not necessary and obviously we don't want to take any risks that are unnecessary. So it's the waiting game. I'm still having contractions and I feel really icky. The doc said he really thinks I'm in early labor and it's just taking it's jolly sweet time. Yipee freakin' yay. Anywho, the baby sounds wonderful which is great and very reassuring, I'm still dilated to a 1...maybe 2-ish. However, I think the doc just said that to keep me sane :). He stripped my membranes, so hopefully that'll help with some progress. He did mention that for me, it may be really hard to tell if I'm in active labor or not, since I was induced with both boys. He said we did the right thing by going in, and that it may happen again but to not get discouraged. This baby will eventually come out! It's just so hard to take care of the boys and everything else. Plus the pain is getting to a point of being almost excruciating. Ugh!!! Oh well. I feel really stupid too, I started bawling in the doc's office today...stupid hormones. I need a drink...or 7.

Only 1

I am so pissed right now. I've been having contractions since 4:45pm Tuesday. We went into labor and delivery and sure enough, baby is good and contractions are good. I was only dilated to a 1, so the nurse had me walk the halls and take a tubby. After an hour of that, still only a 1. So the nurse talked to the 'in-charge' nurse and the doctor who was on call for my doctor, and they frickin' sent me home. Still contracting and completely miserable. I see my doc at 11:15...later today...and boy is he going to get an ear full. It's 3:02am, and I'm still having strong contractions and all that other crap that goes along with labor. I know for a fact that if they spoke with MY doctor, he would have kept me and started induction. GRRR!!!! Ugh, whatever. They gave me some stupid ass visterol or something to relax me so I can 'sleep'. Right. This sucks. My poor parents came down and were going to stay, my Dad was asleep already and he has to go to work at 4am. Nice. I feel horrible. I could just rip someone's head off. Well, I suppose I should try to go to sleep or something. ARGH!!!
