Well, we’ve been to the hospital, but as you can figure out from the title of the post, still no baby yet.
I woke up last night at 4 AM to go to the bathroom. That’s when I noticed a bloody discharge (sorry to the guys who read this post for the gross-out). Seeing as I have been instructed to go to the hospital if there are any signs of vaginal bleeding, I woke up Rob and called my mom so we could head over.
We were admitted pretty much right away–not many people are at the hosptial this early in the morning. I gave a urine sample, they tested my blood pressure and they hooked me up to a fetal heartbeat monitor to check out the baby. That’s pretty much it, other than asking me a few questions, like is the baby moving, what did the blood look like, any contractions?
So, laying on a bed, hooked up to a machine for approximately 2 hours, is all I did. At least I got to lay down, my mom and Rob only had crappy hospital chairs to sit on. Finally, after checking in on me a few times, the nurse told me I could go. She said that the blood was just my mucus plug–dislodged when the docter did an internal at my appointment earlier–and everything was okay. They also reminded me that I should still come in if my water breaks, or my contractions are about 5 minutes apart. Not that I have had any contractions yet.
That was the hospital visit, not really exciting and no baby. Although, we have had more happen today. I’m posting this only now, and as you can see, it’s way more than just 2 hours at the hospital.
We had to drop my mom off back at her place and after we did, Rob’s car died. Just like that, it kinda just shut itself off. It behaved as if the battery was dead–not good seeing as the battery is brand new, we replaced it maybe a month ago. Rob figures the alternator is gone and not charging the battery. Since we were at my parents place, we tried a boost, but the battery only lasted a couple minutes before dying again. So we needed a tow truck….sigh.
The car is being towed to Firestone, where my brother works. Travis knows what’s going on so he will help us fix it up. It just sucks to be happening right now. I really could have the baby any minute. Fortunately, we have two cars and mine is working properly.
