We had our last appointment at 3:30 and we always wait at least 30 minutes so it wasn't a big deal at first. But then we hit the 45 minute mark and finally at the hr. mark we were called back to a room. Once we get to a room, we also usually wait 20-30 minutes there so we weren't looking forward to waiting any longer but what can you do? I did heard the receptionist tell someone that he had to go do 3 deliveries so that's why he was so behind. I do understand that and am fine with it. If Anderson comes early, I want him to put me ahead of his appointments too. It just stinks to wait soooo long.
When we got called back, the nurse said it had been a crazy day for babies and I started thinking this baby better not get crazy and he better stay put! I finally heard Dr.Hinds by my door and in comes the nurse....he literally just got called to deliver another baby! At this point it was 5:15 so we figured it would be at least 30 minutes. (Did I mention the doctor's office is connected to the hospital so at leasts its convenient) We debated on what to do because we had to get the boys by 6 and were watching some friends kids at 6 as well. James wanted us to just leave because there was no real point to this appointment but I first needed to know when to come in on Monday (if I make it) and I was also curious about my dilation. So James left to get the all the kids and then would come back to get me.
About 15-20 minutes later, Dr.Hinds was back! Talk about speedy delivery, geez! So he came in and I'm sure the nurses wanted to get out of there it being about 5:35 at this point. Heartbeat sounded good and he went to check me but then asked if I was dialated last week. I told him I was a 2-3 and he said he didnt need to check me! Since the process was started there was no need....well, I asked if he would anyway because I figured James would be mad since I argued that I wanted to stay to be checked. Plus I wanted to validate the 2 hours I waited there! Being the great doctor that he is, he did check me and I was about a 3.5 but he didn't want to check any further so it wouldnt induce labor, which I was ok with. Therefore, I dont know how effaced I am or if he is still really posterior or not. I also found out we need to be at the hospital at 7am Monday morning so it wasnt a totally unecessary appointment.
I also found out none of the babies he delivered today were his patients! He delivered twins, 3 other babies and had someone getting an epidural when I left, so he said the labor and delivery owed him some banana splits or something. I guess thats one negative about being connected to the hospital but hey, at least all those ladies had a great doctor deliver their babies!
So, some progress but I still think I'll make it to Monday. I do think it will happen pretty fast though, I just better be able to get an epidural. I think I'll be able to get it right when I get there since I'm already pretty dilated. I still havent felt any true contractions. I do feel slight tightening here and there which I guess are contractions but nothing the stops me or that is worth noting.
Now lets hope I make it through our last day of school before spring break and then anything goes! I think my worst fear is for my water to break during class!! So now my final preggo picture:
