So,
I woke up early on Tuesday morning, went in to the hospital, went to work, then back to the hospital. Stayed overnight. I got there just before 8pm, stayed up working with her.
The pain finally got to her so she asked for an epidural....which didn't work. So she asked for another one. Which didn't work. The poor thing. At 3 or 4 we started making some real progress with dilation and the baby finally came at 5.32am. 6lbs 15oz. 9 and 9 for Apgar. Good scores. Then I went to work for 8.30am. So very very exhausted. Worked, left a little early, then slept for like 20 hours. Now I feel better.
I have to say I'm really disappointed in my Doula-ing. I felt so helpless, useless, like I didn't really do anything. I'm reconsidering my position...



Still trying to find my secret santa what he/she wanted. (I know Alex reads this and I don't want to give anything away. :P... ps. Alex I got you.. or is it Kyle?)
I dont think I can find it so I'm going for the back up thing instead.
I so want to be done x-mas shopping and move onto the baking part! I think I'm going to have an informal baking party at my place on Saturday.
We got the first real snowfall, which I'm actually pretty excited about. If the weather drops a little more we may be able to go skating on the Canal before February!

Well, I suppose that's it for now.
Starting work in an hour.
Yippie.

So!
Went in Monday night, nothing really happening. Back at 8am. at 10am we were at 2cm. Came to work. Still here. Going back after. Hoping for baby by 9 or 10 we shall see.
Poor lady wants to go home. Understandable.
I'm very tired, exhausted even. But still a long night ahead of us, and work at 8am! Yippie!
Will redbull soon.
PUSH IT!! heheh.
Work sucks, but..I thought I was in trouble, turns out I'm not. May not get that raise, but we'll see. "Lead by example" they say. Oh..okay.
Will let y'all know the status of baby when I do.
Phew.
xooxo

So there's more waiting, but at least I know what's going on.
She's being induced with gel that can take up to 24 hours to take affect. I'm going to visit her in a few hours, see how's she's feeling, what I can do ect. and we'll go from there. If she wants me to stay the night, I'm cool with that because it'll take me a while to get out there.
More waiting, but at least a general plan.
But, because things are a little touch and go, work is none to happy. I don't blame them, it just kind of sucks as that job is annoying me more and more everyday. And I kind of want to blow it up.
But then what would I do? Ahh well.
Now, I have to try to do something productive and not drive myself mental.
Get nice and grounded and see what's going on. :)
okay.
here we go.

So I'm okay.
Heather's okay.
Every thing is going to be. O.K.
After 4 and a half hours of me freaking out I finally got a hold of her. She had a doctor's appointment today and I guess she's low on amniotic fluid but high in blood pressure so they wanted to induce her today.
But after a while decided to wait.
She's got an appointment on Monday and will probably be induced that day.
Soo, Jackson will be with us soon.
Panic mode, off.
Everything is going to be. O.K.

okay.
so I'm trying my very best to stay calm, but I need some information!
I had my client meeting with Heather yesterday.
She phoned me today and left a message saying they may induce her tonight, she sounded very upset and was crying. That was just after 2pm. I have been calling and calling. Her cellphone is off, no answer at home. Called the hospital, they don't seem to know anything.
I'm just so afraid she's in labor and I'm not there.
omg omg omg.
Trying to breathe and stay calm. But it's hard.
I just want to know what the HELL is going on!
My poor lady.
So.
We may be having a baby tonight.
Will post again when I can.
oh jeeze.

Hello Lj.
What a week this has been.
I have not been feelin it at all. I left work 4 hours early on Monday and an hour on Tuesday. 50 bucks down the drain. Wednesday was also wonky. Emotionally just a whole lot of bullshit this week. Yesterday was thankfully fine, if not a little tiring. Today, so far so good.
I met with Heather yesterday and she's in such a great headspace about her labor. I'm very excited. She's hoping to pop by the solstice. So we'll see what happens. Her boy will be Jackson Leo. Which I think is neat.
Now just to find some nice moonstone and we shall see what's up.
No real plans this weekend. Have to go to *shudder* Walmart to see if I can find the thing that my secret santa wants. If not, it's tough shit for them! HA! I should include that in the present. "I went to Walmart for you"

I had this amazing dream the other night that may have spawned a story for me. It was so real and so not at the same time. I think I was somewhat lucid for it. It was a beautiful properity, stretching from the river up to the top of the mountain. I could feel the bark under my fingers. Also, there was a hidden elevator in a tree that took you to the top. Totally bitchen.
I saw someone I used to know there. We talked, but they did not recongize me. It made me wonder what my dream self looks like.

On another note Mom and I are getting very excited for our trip. She's booked us at the spa before we go. Her for her toes, me getting legs waxed. FUN!

Who knows what tne next week will bring.
I'm hoping to see some friends that I haven't seen in a while, namely Alex and Emily.
That would be super duper.

Anywhoo,
I'm going to read some texts from last night before work.
Oh, I recomend it, it's stupid and short, but kinda funny.
textsfromlastnight.com
that's it.
Enjoy.
