Post #99 - Girls aren't here yet sorry
Ugh.. Ok this is no longer fun... I am officially 38wks as of today.. These girls better come soon.. like by Friday.. I am soooo done.. still on the cheerful side of things but done. Lee and I spent Saturday afternoon and into Sunday morning at the hospital hoping that the girls would decide to come. Learned a few things about myself like that I have a very high tolerance for pain. Which is probably why I can't feel some of the contractions that I must be having. We also learned that one of the other OBs that covers for Dr M is not a good or friendly doctor. I should have figured that out when we were still in the car on the way to Mel-Wak (my hospital) and he told me that 37wks 3days is too early. WTH are you smoking buddy??? I'm having twins.. please end my misery. Then when he checked me for dilation he told me that I'm at 1cm and not 2cm like the nurse said I was. He also told the nurses to give me 2 shots of terb (a drug that can stop labor) and send me home. Thankfully at first the shots didn't work but I think over time they did since around 4:30 or 5am my contractions fizzled completely out. The nurse we had the next morning though made me want to leap up and strangle her.. I really didn't appreciate her comment of "Gee you look rather small for twins". Sorry lady but I have gained almost 30 lbs and it's all in the front. So yes I am still cheerful Cheryl but I am slowly morphing into not so cheerful Cheryl. I have an OB appt today along with a NST. Hopefully something will have happened or will happen today.
