Long night
July 29th, 2008Well, that was fun *please note sarcasm*. Why is the getting knocked up part fun but getting un-knocked up not so much fun? I spent the night with the medicine on my cervix have having painful contractions. They gave me an Ambien to help me sleep so I was able to grab a couple of cat naps when my contractions settled down. This morning they checked me still only 1 cm despite the pain. But my cervix softened and I am contracting pretty regularly on my own. They broke my water this morning (okay that wasn’t pleasant) and are letting me contract on my own for the moment (meaning sans pitocin medicine).
At this point, things hurt but are bearable. We’ll see what happens as the day progresses.

July 29th, 2008 at 8:53 am
Thinking of you. That’s all I can say as I have nothing to offer in the pregnancy/labor/delivery department. Lots of good thoughts your way, though. Come on down, Tessa!
July 29th, 2008 at 8:56 am
Hopefully things start moving along for you. Maybe having your water broke will do the trick (it did for me). Hoping for a quick and easy delivery for you!

EPIDURAL;)
July 29th, 2008 at 9:27 am
Hope it’s not long!
July 29th, 2008 at 9:32 am
Okay, can you not get an epidural? I’d be asking for one if I were you. Repeat after me…drugs are good.
Oh, and were you completely amazed at how much fluid there was when they broke your water? I felt like it would never stop running out. No wonder I was so damn uncomfortable!!
July 29th, 2008 at 9:51 am
oooooooh.. I’m going into stalking mode now!
July 29th, 2008 at 9:53 am
so exciting!!!! hope it happens fast 😉
July 29th, 2008 at 9:54 am
C’mon Tessa! The blog world wants to meet you!
July 29th, 2008 at 10:08 am
Oh my gosh! Here I thought you had already had her….. good luck! Will you get an epidural?
July 29th, 2008 at 10:10 am
I just checked your site and saw you are literally in labor – wow, you go girl! So, so happy for you and your DH and little Sabrina… and hope your baby girl’s arrival is smooth and uneventful! Sending lots of prayers your way!!!
July 29th, 2008 at 10:24 am
Hang in there. Can’t wait to hear more.
July 29th, 2008 at 10:38 am
Praying hard for SUPERFAST delivery at this point, along with healthy outcome for both of you of course. I mean physically healthy, your mental state will be a little iffy(ier) from this point on with 2 under 2. But I know you can handle it (with the help of the occassional adult beverage, I’m sure)! I had a dream that you had Tessa while you were in Paris (France, not Texas or Ohio). Let me know if this ever makes sense to you, any amazing food in the hospital (doubtful) or your Doc suddenly developed an accent??? Although, the good part is you recovered quickly, looking refreshed and beautiful. Maybe that is the part you will make truth.?! Getting up to go pee is great, but don’t suffer thru the contractions too long before getting that epidural. Take care, we’re thinking of all of you!

Just had a thought, my dream was last night…maybe you were WISHING you were in Paris, France instead of the hospital feeling uncomfortable (sans the mean lady yelling about your bad French). Take care.
July 29th, 2008 at 10:42 am
This is so exciting… Can’t wait to here more news!~

July 29th, 2008 at 11:35 am
Good Luck!! Hopefully Tessa will arrive soon!!
July 29th, 2008 at 11:46 am
I’m rooting for you!! I hope things go quickly from now on!! Keeping my fingers crossed for you!
July 29th, 2008 at 11:48 am
hope your delivery is quick and as painless as possible. Epidurals work wonders if you’re able to have one. Can’t wait to see pics of Tessa!
July 29th, 2008 at 11:49 am
Total Blogstalking mode right now. C’mon Tessa, it’s nicer out here. We have cute outfits.

July 29th, 2008 at 1:01 pm
Thinking about you guys lots! Hopefully Tessa gets to start moving soon!
July 29th, 2008 at 1:03 pm
I hope she gets here before midnight. Today is just a good day to be born!
July 29th, 2008 at 1:05 pm
Okay, where are you? You don’t need your hands to push her out…you should be updating us minute by minute. I’m not going to get many billable hours today if I have to keep stalking your blog!!!
July 29th, 2008 at 1:14 pm
Waiting patiently for an update………
