It's 7:15 am and we are at the hospital. Brigit is hooked up to two monitors. One measures contractions and the other measures Ziggy's heart rate. Ziggy continues to be active. Too active. Five times last night Ziggy set off the alarm by moving out of the range of the monitor. The nurse actually seemed irritated which does not bode well for us as parents of this active little one.
Brigit was given to doses of Citotec and her contractions increased and grew stronger but not strong enough. Unfortunately, they came often enough they had to suspend a dose. So, we're expecting the midwife in the next hour to come in and suggest Pitosin which we were hoping to avoid. Before that they'll take Brigit off the monitors and we'll be able to walk around and we'll probably walk stairs like we were doing at midnight.
Unsurprisingly, Brigit is a horrible patient. After watching the nurse set up monitors and such Brigit began changing settings, moving monitors, and monkeying with controls. She also searched the room looking for medical toys to play with.
I'll post more info when there's another break in the action, sports fans.
