Labor and Deliv....Just kidding

So today was almost the day that our little Rhegan was born. Long story short, I had contractions this morning that were not letting up. So the nurse told me to come on in. Once there the contractions were still coming regularly and we were starting to get our hopes up that we would be staying and having a c-section. My doctor happened to be on call and was actually able to check me, but alas, no change since last Wednesday. At this point she thought she could go either way...making me wait until Thursday or just go ahead and do the c-section today. So she decided to start an IV and force 2.5 liters of fluid in me over a few hours and see what happened. The contractions decided to get farther apart, but were still pretty intense. As you can tell, I am back home, trying not to sulk and feel sorry for myself that it was all for not...it will still be Thursday. My OB just decided she didn't want to take the risk for the baby's lungs doing a c-section before she was officially 39 weeks. *BIG LONG SIGH* Four days has never felt so long.
