Just got done watching taligadaga nights. Forgot how funny that movie is. The nurses even stopped and watched for a second laughing. Now I know Kimi and Miles are in good hands.
The delieveing doctor stopped in and checked her, almost 5 cm. They gave her potosan to get the contractions closer together. The window for miles birthday being one day afters Kimi is down to only 2 more hours.
At about 8 o’clock Kimi was 4 cm dialiated. The doctor came in and broke her water shortly after that. The anistegalogist then gave Kimi an epidural and now she is gettng her first winks of sleep in 36 hours. Epidurals are amazing. Going from painful contractions to sleep in a matter of minutes. I might try to get a couple of winks my self.
This event starts on a warm may night on May 1st. We were going to go to a wedding in Columbus for Kimi’s but decided not to go since it was a far drive. Kimi would of been uncomfortable the whole time and the outside chance something could happen. Better safe than sorry.
So I went to my grandma and helped spread 40 tons of dirt. Kimi went out for lunch for her birthday with my mom and a couple of friends. When they got home they woke me from my nap that lasted about 45 minutes. All was well, they did alot of walking and shopping. We were waiting for the cavs vs celtics game come on at 8 which was two hours away. So I was hungry and made a grilled cheese for me since Kimi didn’t want anything. I sat down to eat it when they started.
Contractions were begining. We were skeptical if they were real or not. I mean Miles wasn’t due for three more weeks he can’t be coming early. I w the episode of the office where Jim and Pam have there baby so I knew when we should go to the hospital. Contractions 5 minutes apart duration 1 minute and they are to intense to talk through. Kimi started her contraction master app on her iPhone to record all of that information. They started out being about 7 minutes apart and not that bad of pain. She went and got some fruitloops to eat for dinner and her contractions were getting worse so she claims her loops were getting soggy while she was waiting for her contractions to stop.
The pregame was starting went her first contraction was 5 minutes apart and I was think I was going to miss an amazing game. The games starts and they cavs are playing like poop. Right before the first quater Kimi says “i’m going to start to get my thing together for the hospital at least you got to watch the start of the game.” she gets up and moves around and the contractions slow down now and they are back to 7 minutes apart. We got the all of thing in order to leave but are waiting for them to get closer and more intense.
The second half of the started and Kimi is about 6 minutes apart when Mo Williams dunks on Paul Peirce. The cavs have an amazing second half and pull off the victory. So I’m like sweet I’m ready to go to the hospital now. But Kimi still isn’t there yet.
It is now 11:30 and she decides that we should go just in case since she has had contractions 5 minutes apart for 45 minutes. Loaded up the car with the travel stuff and we were on the road to the hospital. Durning the car ride I hoping there would be a sweet pregnancy song even though I don’t know what would qualify as one. The only song that I was really hoping that would play was salt n pepper – push it.
We were approaching the hospital and I was wanting to use the super secret maternity entrance. Kimi was against it because we weren’t exactly sure where it was. So we decided in the parking garage that has a second floor walkway over the street that leads right to the elevator to get to the maternity wing. I pulled to the garage and the gate is down and no one is letting us in. So we park next to the garage and try to get to the walkway. The door is locked but we get buzzed in. Of course the doors are locked to the stairs and elevator to get to the second floor. All of the main entrance are locked to the hospital and we have to walk around to the emergency entrance.
When we got to the maternity wing they check us in to a room at 12:30. They were just monitoring her and the baby and would admit us if it looked like we were going to have the baby. They hooked up a baby monitor and a thing to. Monitor contractions which looked to be coming every 3 minutes. They checked to see if she was dilated and she was 1 centimeter. Looking good since she was zero at her doctors apt on wednesday. An hour later the contractions are the same and they checked her again ad she was still only 1 cenemeter dilated.
A doctor finally came in at 2:30 the doctor said that the contractions were because of a UTI. They gave her an IV with antibiotics for the UTI. The contractions started to slow down and became less intense. We got discharged at 4:30 a prescription to pick up in the morning. On the drive home the contractions went back to the pre hospital state. Five o’clock my head hit the pillow and i was asleep.
I was woken up to get kimis prescription filled. Of course i had to wait forever because they couldn’t read the doctors hand writing. While i was waiting I though I would be nice and get kimi some doughnuts for breakfast. I got the crispy cream glazed with chocolate. When I get home I give her the doughnuts she responds with don’t you know I only like the regular glazed. Good idea me poor execution.
Kimi never got any sleep and the contractions were a around 5-6 minutes and growing in intensity. She had about all of the pain she could take at 1:45 and called the on call doctor. She returned her call at three o’clock. With the growing intensity of the contractions she said we should head back in to the hospital to get check just to be safe. So we are off to the hospital again.
As we are arriving I spot the super secret maternity parking and entrance. It took us right up to the maternity wing and it was much easier than what we went though last night. We get checked in to the same room with the same stuff hooked up to her. They said that they couldn’t do anything for her if she wasn’t in labor. The checked her and she was 2-3 centimeter dilated and about 90% effaced. They went to check with the doctor with there findings. We were hopeful but unsure what they would do. They admitted her in to the hospital at 4:45 and this baby thing looks like it’s going to happen.
Stay tuned for more hopefully in the hours to come.
I’m now 36 weeks… the end is near!
The picture says it all!!!
We had two fabulous baby showers for Miles! We are so very lucky to have such awesome friends and family who really spoiled us and Miles. Here’s some photos!
I love my iPhone and i would never get rid of it but if the Droid really did have this feature i would consider switching for 7 week.
I couldn’t resist posting this… so funny!
Hard to believe it’s already April and that our little man is likely to arrive next month! (Unless he is really mean and waits until June) The weeks are flying by now and everything is coming together. Mike’s been busy around the house getting things done and we have pretty much all the ‘basics’ needed for Miles. We have another baby shower this weekend in Vermilion and are very excited!
I’ve been feeling decent. I shouldn’t complain. Everything is healthy and progressing. But I’m definitely to that stage of being really sick of being pregnant. It’s so hard to even get out of bed, which is amplified by the need to get up a minimum of 5 times a night to pee. Sleeping on my side is making my hips ache. (I’m normally a tummy sleeper) And sleeping on my back isn’t allowed at this point. I’m starting to swell off and on. Some days I can wear my rings, some days I can’t. I’m also starting to have Braxton Hicks contractions. These are normal and not painful at this point but can become quite annoying.
So other than me complaining about being the size of a small house everything is good. I am now going to checkups every other week and we have an ultrasound at the end of the month to check out Miles’ size and position. Can’t believe he’s due in just under 7 weeks!!!!
