Oh, I forgot how horrible the waiting is.
Jay’s waters broken yesterday evening at 6ish. There was meconium in the water, so they wanted us to go and get checked out and now they won’t let us leave! They gave her a cervix ripening pessary and said they’d be back at 4:30am to start her on a drip. It’s now 8:30am and we’re still waiting. Lack of staff apparently. So not exactly an emergency then? I don’t see why we couldn’t have gone home. Our room is windowless and the staff are overworked and humourless and we’ve got to stay on labour ward not in lovely birth centre as Jay had hoped. We’re both pretty fed up but, hey, there’ll be a baby soon and we’ll have forgotten all about the disappointment.
More news as it’s in.

Oh my gosh, oh my gosh… Sooo excited!! Lots of peace and strength to Jay. Hope things get going soon to distract you from your less-than-ideal surroundings. Heaps of love to you both and I can’t wait to “meet” your new BABY!!!

Good luck, ladies! Looking forward to hearing the birth news!
Sorry about the accommodations and the grumpy staff. No fair!

Sending good thoughts your way. I hope you are out of the windowless, humorless ward and home with baby very soon!
