Well, if you've read the title of the blog, you can see that I didn't have the baby yesterday. Looks like we're having a June-Bug! :)
Kaiser kept telling me to call back every two hours because apparently yesterday was the day to have kids. We finally got called in, but there were no available rooms or beds, so we did some monitoring then started the process of induction by putting in a foley catheter bulb. It was the WORST thing I have ever felt, and it gave me the worst contractions. We headed home and within forty minutes the bulb dilated me to 4 cm and it popped out. It was gross, and painful, and annoying, but at least my cervix has started to open (forcefully is better than nothing). After it popped out, I didn't have anymore contractions. My cervix is still posterior, so I think that's why it was extra painful for me.
Kaiser asked me to call in today at 7 this morning so I can come in, but then again, they told me to call back at 10. So, we'll see what happens. My OB is on call with Labor & Delivery tonight, so there is a HUGE chance than she'll deliver Michelle. It's exciting because I adore her, but I'm worried because she really wants me to get an epidural (because my BP rises w/ pain. It was HIGH after the bulb was put in..like, really high).
Cassie told me that today is Marilyn Monroe's bday. That would be so cool if Misha was born on her bday. I was obsessed with her for a long time in high school and beyond, so it would be so fitting :)
Hopefully my next blog is extra happy and exciting, describing the events of my labor! :)
EDIT:
Called back at 10; was on hold for 10 minutes (literally) before they picked up and said they'd just call me later. So, here I am, waiting around again. I can't keep doing this. I didn't want this in the first place! THEY are the ones raising my blood pressure. :(
