If you get tossed in jail, it’s surely considered cruel and unusual punishment to be deprived of food. Go to the hospital for labor-related stuff, and it’s considered in your best interests to feed you nothing but ice pellets. What I want to know is, when morning rolls around and I haven’t had any food for over twelve hours, will they at least give … Ooo. A different nurse just came in and said I can have something to eat! Is she just taunting me like that loan guy with his 7.375%? We shall see. We shall see.
(In case you haven’t figured it out or heard already, we are at the hospital. The doctor decided it would be prudent to induce labor.)
Update: My doctor said I can’t eat! Aie. Nurse says she’ll try to get me food by morning. Oh happy day!
Update by Andy: They broke Cabol’s water and now the contractions are more often, so it could be any time now! But it probably won’t be.
Another update by Andy: Cabol decided she was sick of the pain, so she has had an epidural. Now she’s a lot happier.
More updated goodness: Cabol is at 10cm now (and super numb from the epidural, so that has been turned down), so I guess within the next hour or two we should be done.
Been thinking about you, wondering how things are going. Hope all is well! *hugs*
Oh my goodness! Good luck you guys!
Hooray! Soon your farm will be full of all sorts of Spring babies! Good luck and fast delivery!
I also wish you the best of luck! How exciting! Also, BRUTAL about hospital policies regarding no food. You’re about to do the hardest work of your life and they don’t even let you nourish yourself… Get Andy to sneak you food. The reason they don’t let you eat is they’re afraid you’ll aspirate it if you need surgery. EAT woman! EAT!
