I was taken to Labor room 2 and after a few hours the contractions just stopped! So they checked me and I was 4 cm but still only 70 % efaced and he was still pretty high up but they decided to keep me overnight to be safe. The CDC had started a new "Rule" that anyone under the age of 17 could not visit. So as of the 18th George will not be able to attend his baby brothers birth as planned...I was heartbroken!! Not only could he not be there for his brothers birth I wouldnt be able to see my big guy until I was released from the hospital! That's to much for me, thats my baby! I have to be able to see him. So we came up with a game plan, so that David would be able to attend Adrians birth and I would be able to see george. But more on that in a few....

On Friday our OB came in and talked to me around 6 am. She said that since my contractions have stopped and I haven't made any change in umpty hours she would let me go home, if after I walk around for an hour the contractions dont start back up. Although 36 weeks 5 days was good it was still considered to be pre-term. Christina came to see me around 8 am and I was a basket case! I was missing George & David bad...then all of a sudden Boom, there's a contractions...um well no going home I thought. But after the one there were no more and so I thought Ok I'll still be going home....Nurse comes in around 9 and tells me, "Dr.Weise is coming in for a delivery in Labor Room 1 and after is going to break your water..." I was taken back...I thought whoah wait I thought she wanted us to try and carry til at least Sunday the 20th when i was officially 37 weeks.

So I called David updated him on the plan, called Toni since she was going to be with me through most of my labor and prepared myself mentally for the upcoming labor. So nurse comes in shortly after 11 am and tells me that since I'm not contracting again that Dr.Weise wants me to walk and if I dont start on my own I will most likely be going home...Um What? Are you serious? I felt like I was going through the twilight zone...one minute Im going home, next she's breaking my water, then No, I'm going home! So I walked and Dr.Weise came and checked me shortly after 12 and we talked after she confermed there had been no change since 9 pm the night before, I was 4 cm and 70 possibly 75 % efaced. So we talked about the risks. Then we decided that I would go home with strict restrictions until Sunday. If I felt anything I was to be back there on the drop of a dime.

So here we are 2 days the later and I'm feeling some contractions, but still not enough to panic.We are in the process of moving in with Toni for a while and have our game plan in place. When we go to the hospital David will watch George for a while then Toni will take his place with George and David will join me, and Vise versa til it's almost time to deliver then it will be David with me and toni watching George so that David can be there when Adrian is Born! Then in a few hours after my epidural wears off I will be allowed to go to the Lobby and spend some time with George before he & Daddy go home. I'll be able to see him, David will get to see Adrian born and Toni will be a part of it as well. Only regret is George wont get to meet his new baby brother until the days we are released from the hospital and Go home...But I know It will all work out...Just have to believe and put my faith In GOD's hands.

Here are a few pics from our hospital trip....Til Next Entry XoXo
