Following my OB's orders, and after a trip to my local Shopper's Drug Mart to check my blood pressure, we hastily made our way to the Royal Alexandra hospital. My numbers were high, but I so badly wanted to deliver our baby that I was sure they would end up sending me home! Alas, after 4 hours of being hooked up to monitors and speaking with interns, residents, and docs alike, we were told that it was time! Induction started at 8:30 PM on Friday, March 16th, 2012. ...Our baby was about to be born!!
Our wish came true–a super private room had our name on it! We got lucky and were able to score one (they are first come first serve) for the entire duration of our one week hospital stay. It was like being in a hotel. With a queen sized bed, two pull out couches and a flat screen TV (not to mention a private bathroom), we were made to be completely comfortable. And Jeremy could stay overnight. Whew.
After two hours of being monitored post-induction meds, I was finally able to eat dinner at 10:30 PM. Thank you Boston Pizza for making g-free!!
