I'm here at the hospital and all checked in. I've gotten my first dose of gels put on my cervix and am having some mild cramping...basically like I've been having for the last month! 

Around 1am I should get another dose and then again at 5am. If contractions aren't coming strong by then, then I'll get started with pitocin by about 9am! 

It could be awhile before Christian is actually here, but we will be meeting him soon!!! 

AHHH!!!!! 

I was totally freaking out on our way to the hospital and definitely cried when hubby called to verify it would be good for us to head in. Whew. 

After we checked in and the nurse got my vitals and everything, my blood pressure was pretty high because I was so nervous!! Now that we are all settled, I'm feeling much more relaxed and ready to get this show on the road!! 

Oh...and if you haven't realized it yet....

LAST CHANCE! Laboring Well Book Giveaway Ends 3/22!

If you haven't already, click here to view the Laboring Well Giveaway Post and enter the giveaway for a chance to win a signed copy of Maternity Nurse Elizabeth Allen's book Laboring Well. 

This is a MUST for first time moms. Elizabeth shares from her 20 years of experience from 10,000 births to help moms prepare for what to expect during labor and delivery. This is a great ADDITION to a childbirth class but could also take the place of a class. However, I would still recommend hands on experience practicing various positions to use during labor which is most often learned through a class. 

Elizabeth does a great job of explaining medical jargon that may be used by your practitioner. I already feel less out of the loop and more calm in preparing for labor just by understanding the terms and language that is being used at my doctor appointments and that will be used in the delivery room. 

ENTER THE GIVEAWAY NOW! 

Winner will be announced on Friday 3/22. 

Wishing you all a wonderful delivery experience!

New Mama Questions - 2nd Edition

This week I'm focusing on ONE question for all you mamas. With the news that my placenta is still low lying, I'm starting to think more about c-sections. 

1. If you had a c-section, what was your experience? How long was the recovery time? What were the pros and the cons? 

Okay, so I guess that was more like 3 questions, but all about ONE topic - c-sections. 

THANKS MAMAS!
