Morgan Ann Has Arrived!!!!
Morgan Ann joined our family Wednesday, August 23, 2006 at 8:40 pm. She was 9 days early.
I went in Wednesday morning at 8:15 for my usual weekly (39 wks) check-up with the doctor to see if I had made anymore progress from the week prior (at 38 wks I was dialated to 1 cm). I went in thinking that maybe I had dialated another cm but that nothing else had really changed. Well, when the tech took my blood pressure she seemed to think that she was reading it wrong, so after about 4 tries she finally gets my doctor to come take it(and after another 2 tries) she gets the same thing....150/100. Yikes!!!! The doctor takes me back to one of the exam rooms and proceeds to tell me that she thinks it's best to get the process going now to deliver because my BP is too high and it's just not good for me or Morgan. I asked her what exactly she meant by the "now" part and she asked, "do you have someone that can pick up your stuff and meet you at the hospital now? I'd like to induce you this morning." What!?!?!?!?!?!?! So I made the call to John, who was by all accounts completely surprised and like me totally unprepaired to hear that kind of news, lol. So at 9:45 am, Wednesday morning, I was in a hospital bed, hooked up to the Pitocin, and thinking to myself, "this is not at all what I thought my day was going to be like, lol!"
