The Yarn Queen

Wow what a night, the pit drip did not create labor only a backache.  Then the Duchesses BP went up and she got a fever and then all H E double toothpicks broke loose and there was a c section taking place.  For a premie JH came in at 7# 8 oz. 18 inches long. Wow what would  full term have produced.  Anyway the placenta went to the lab to be analyzed and the Duchess is glad to be rid of it.

Baby is in prenatal nursery with an iv for a couple days to make sure there is no infection thats why he has a splint on his tiny little arm. Mom is doing very well and the Queen and  Duke are exhausted.

Well here we are in moderate temp Seattle.  This is the first time i’ve been here that i havn’t frozen.  This i may be able to get used too, the no sun thing though not to sure about that although we have had quite a few sunny days. 

And it’s autumn the leaves are beautiful.

Who’s expecting?
the hospital

Well on with the story of the week that you are all holding your breath for.  Thur we started induction, we all went to the hospital and the Duchess was administered and Miso ( You have to do your own research if you don’t know what this is) I can’t say let alone spell this medical stuff)  Then she was supposed to be released to spend the day at home and seeing if this would start the birthing process. Low and behold we had 2 very attentive nurses who were new to birthing and they were overly protective about baby risk, the problem being JH didn’t like the monitor so he kept moving or kicking it and that would foul the read out up.  The nurses wouldn’t unplug  the Duchess so they stayed at the hospital until 5 pm not being able to eat.  I took lunch done to the Duke and we did sneak a few bites to the Duchess.  When the Dr came he said all was fine and go home.  Unfortunatle that was about 5:45 the miso hadn’t done much. It took all three of us to haul the stuff be had brought in,  I think they were planning on staying. 

Day 2

 We again packed lots of stuff into the hospital, but not as much as day 1 we are getting better, we left most of the stuff in the car.  We again administer and inducing misoproctal.  I have just about enough time to go back to the house and the Duke calls and says we are released hurray and pick us up before they change their minds.  This time the stuff worked until about 5:30 in the afternoon, but the Duchesses body didn’t kick in anymore. The good thing  is JH is growing stronger all the time. The Duke breaking in the new rocker, the Duchess and the dogs working on getting JH into this world.

Day 3

Not good news the hospital calls and cancels our induction date because the specialized neo-nate nurse had a family emergency.  This is a long day of waiting, but about 9 pm the Duchesses water decides to give way.  Hurry send them to the hospital.

Day 4  Waiting!!!!!!!!!!! Stay tuned.
