Went to the Dr. this morning with both kids. Had to strategically place the stroller so as to not leave Beckham permanently scarred.
Dilated to 1cm, and Dr. felt the head. Good times. I am only 35 weeks, so it's early still.
I was Dilated to a 2 at my apt. just 2 hours before Marley was born. It's up in the air which way this is going to go. I've never made it to the hospital more than 30 min. before both the kids were born, so there has never been time for meds.
This time I am determined.
I shall camp out in the parking lot.
The thought of a ginormous needle in my spine gives me the woozies, but after talking to my Doc today, I am thinking the part about being numb from the waist down sounds blissfull.
She too warned me about getting my hopes up though because of my speedy delivery history.
No faith.
My prayers from here on out are as follows,
"help me to get to the hospital in time for meds."
p.s for posterity's sake:

Love it. I hope you get there in time for meds too, because really, they are great. Just don't flinch when you feel the medicine shooting through your body. I did that and the dr said, "whoa...don't do that."
If I knew I was most likely going to be having a natural child birth I would be eating a half gallon of ice cream too.
And you look great!
I think you look great girl! I wish you a drug filled delivery... after doing it both ways I pray for drugs this delivery too.
You look awesome Jeanine.
You've never gotten meds?? Bummer. Real Bummer. Good luck getting there in time.
I hope you get your meds! I love that you're sitting in front of the computer eating ice cream out of the carton :) I have to be more discreet, my stash of candy is under the couch cushion, I'm not about to share!
can they not even give you a spinal block? those usually work instantaneously. i really hope you can get meds this time! good luck! when is your due date?
