Believe it or not, after struggling to go back to sleep, I ended up falling asleep around 5am. I was awoken by the creek of Nya's bedroom door and the pitter patter of her little feet coming into our room.
'Mommy! I need to use the washroom' she said. Glancing at the time it read 6:30am. Wow! I actually fell back to sleep.
After using the washroom, Nya hopped into bed beside me to snuggle. No sooner after moving in for a snuggle, I felt another small gush.
'Well, we better start the day and get moving to the hosptial' I said in my head.
I waited until 7am before I called my dad. I didn't want to wake him any earlier.
When he picked up he immeidalty said 'Is this THE call!!!!'. Lol 'I think this is THE call' I said with a laugh.
I asked my dad to come at 8am to pick up Nya; I wanted some time to get myself and Nya ready and do some last min cleaning; of course!!! Ha ha
I got Nya ready, tidied up the house, put the dishwasher on and ran the last load of laundry. Lol
I showered and got myself ready as Dennard took out the garbage, filled the car with gas and grabbed breakfast for us both.
My dad came and played with Nya in the living room as I finished getting ready.
I quickly did Nya's hair in a style that didn't require my dad to have to worry about it tomorrow, and off we went.
I snapped the last few picutres of my tummy and I before heading out the door to say goodbye to Nya.
Walking to the car I began to get emotional. 'This is it!!! This is where I have to say goodbye to Nya. This is our last time as a family of 3!'.
The tears began to puddle. Lol
My dad, seeing me fight back emotion, embraced me tightly. 'Let me get a picture of you before you leave' he said.
Eyes red and swollen and cheeks flush, I embraced my big girl for a picture. She was so excited and happy. She was anxious to go with Grampy and go swimming in his pool with her cousins Ryan and Grant. This made it all so much easier to say good-bye.
It was a blessing they were going to my dad's today as she absolutley adores them; they will be a great distraction for her today.
We said our good-byes, gave our kisses and off we went in the car to the hosptial.
At this point we didn't know if we would be back or not as it was all dependant on the hosptial.
We got to the hosptial around 10:15am and checked in. They immediately hooked me up to the baby monitor and asked me to sit tightly until Dr.Wade came in to check me.
While waiting to see the Dr, my water broke at exactly 11:09am. Thank goodness for those JUMBO pads they make you wear. Lol
The Dr soon came in and checked me; I was 5cms dialated. She advised me that I would indeed be admitted and that if I wasn't in labour by the afternoon, I would be induced.
Hurray!!! Music to my ears! I did not want to be sent home!!!
The whole time in the labour assessment room I was joking with all the nurses. We were laughing so hard that it through off my baby monitor and recorded readings all over the place. Lol
The nurses were telling me how impressed they were that I was 5cms and not even in labour. They said it was the dream situation. Yay body!! You've never let me down!! Ha ha
At around 1pm we were shown to our birthing suite; believe it or not....the exact same room we had Nya in 3 years ago!!!! How special and sentimental!!!
I, of course snapped a thousand more pictures. Lol
We were told to walk around and come back every half hour to check the baby's heart rate.
We stopped off for lunch at Tim Hortons in the hosptial and ate lunch; seeing it will probably be my last meal in a while.
I had ladies starring and smiling at me :) Maybe it was the fact that they knew I was here to have a baby, or maybe it was because of the ugly hosptial gown I had to walk the hosptial in. Ha ha ha ha
We had our lunch and headed back to the room.
At 3pm Dr Wade decided that it was time for me to be induced since things weren't happening on their own.
I was hooked up to oxytocin at 3pm and contractions started at around 3:20pm.
It's now 3:50pm and the contractions are building.
I'm updating my blog now as I don't know when I will be able to next; plus it's keeping my mind off of the pain from the contractions.
I'm also watching 'Say Yes to the Dress' on the TV in my room. He he I love wedding and cooking shows!! Lol
Daddy Dennard is snacking on some of the snacks I packed for him now and reading over her sermon.
I'm going to sign off now as the contractions are getting a little more intense.
I can't wait to meet my gorgeous little girl, kiss her sweet cheeks and just snuggle with her on my chest.
Sweet Pea,
Mommy, daddy and big sister Nya are SO anxious to finally meet you!!!!! We love you so much!! I have prayed and contended for you for a long time; you are proof that God honours prayer. Your life is a gift to this world!
Here are some pictures of our AM up until now:
