From the hospital bed!

Do I have a baby yet?  No!

Have I been at the hospital for 8 hours?  Yes!

Did I almost pass out when they drew blood and inserted my IV?  Yes!  

I didn't get the first dose of Cytotec in until 10 AM, which means the second was scheduled for 4 PM.  However!  The nurse said I am contracting enough right now (every 2-3 minutes) that there is no need for the second dose.  So far in this whole eight hours I have dilated 1 cm, which she said is good, because a lot of times you don't dilate anything, at first.  So woo!  The nurse also said Eli has a really good heartbeat, and he's doing great!  

So...let's get this show on the road?

Also...try and get more than 4 hours of sleep when you go into be induced.  It's a little rough otherwise.  Also also...try and eat something.  I know you are supposed to have an empty stomach for labor so I didn't eat anything since last night.  Needless to say I feel like I'm starving to death.
