life in progess

Well, it appears that our doctor over-exaggerated my progress last week. i was only to 1 cm when i came in this morning... not exactly what today's doctor was expecting. I actually had hoped for much much more. I had spent most of yesterday bouncing and swinging on Yoga balls trying to make progress and work Weston down. It didn't work.
I was given Oxytocin to start labor this morning. Nicole, my amazing Acupuncturist, stopped by to add her efforts to the induction process as well as to add some pain blockers. Unfortunately, the acupuncture didn't work any better than the medication, we still had no additional progress at noon. After my labs came back... my doctor decided to give it until 4pm and then we would go off the Oxytocin and start Cervidil to help things along from the inside. Not too horribly unpleasant, unless you count the part about lying flat on your back for over 2 hours, which unfortunately causes my hips to feel like they are burning and crushing from the inside out.
So now it is almost 630pm. We've been here for 13 hours. I am finally able to sit up and type. They finally let me eat something, while i was lying flat on my back. Scott had to feed me (thank God!) And i am currently being infused with my 3rd dose of IV Penicilan, which by the way, burns throught your veins like boiling acid.
So far, I am in more pain from the Penicilian IV, the laying on various parts of my hips, and the inability to move as i need in order to get a good blood pressure reading or a good heartbeat reading from Weston.
So, the plan is this... the Cervidil stays in place until 4am. Then they will turn on the Petocin to activate labor again. Hopefully we will progress enough to have a baby tomorrow morning/early afternoon. I have a feeling that a c-section might be in order if things do not progress to the doctor's liking.
Cross your fingers!!!
