2.5 more hours!

LisanAndy · #1 March 25th, 2009, 02:06 AM

I slept MAYBE 5 hours all night LoL. I'm so anxious to get this going! It doesn't help I'm a freakin whale and laying on one side longer then an hour or so is agony LoL. So they're going to start with prostiglandin gel ASAP. That was all it took to get me into labor last time and I labored the rest of the time on my own. Hoping it goes the same way this time. Well, I'm off to shave my legs, straighten the living room, do some dishes, start some laundry, and by then we should be almost ready to go. I can't believe this is really happening today

Are you bringing a treat for the nurses?---it will get you major brownie points and usually some extra care! LOL

leave the housework!!!!!!!

LisanAndy · #5 March 25th, 2009, 02:32 AM

Yeah I decided not to do the housework haha! I'm just trying to keep myself busy, I'm so anxious/excited/nervous LoL. I don't have anything for the nurses

By the time I knew I was getting induced for sure around 1:30 PM yesterday I still had to take Taylor to the pedi and set up child care and tie up some loose ends and I never got around to it. I'll make Andy get something LoL!

HAHA yes its a mainly just food....any type works. Some women bake things and bring them, some just buy a couple bags of individual wrapped candies....we had a couple women bribe us with pizza.....they said if we supported them to get them through labor naturally that they would buy us pizza. Its sad but nurses are kind of like dogs---we are a little more loyal to those who feed us! LOL If you want them to be in the room and check on you or answer your lights quickly having a candy bowl of some sorts is great---then when someone comes in they get to pick! This really worked on us--we would argue over who got to go in next! LOL
Doctors know this trick also---they bring us in treats when they want to try new things or do something different, etc.

OMG this is so exciting! It's like baby crazy lately! A co-worker of mine went into labor today and another co-wokers daughter had her baby yesterday! Babies everywhere! It must be Spring.

Treats. Got it. I will so keep that in mind! I'll pack some mini candy bars or something in my hospital bag.......... Something tells me I won't be baking any dang cookies, though.

*making mental note to take treats along for nurses*

WOOHOO! I cannot wait to meet the new little girl!

chellerenee · #16 March 25th, 2009, 09:44 AM

Wooohooo! I'm so excited for you Lisa! I can't wait to see pics of little miss Riley! I hope your labor is fast and easy.

I was thinking a tub of m & ms from Sams Club or Costco- and maybe some pre-made brownie bites... but I don't know when I'll go into labor, and I prob won't want to bake them when I am laboring at home... and going to shop for them on the way to the hospital won't work, so I'm trying to figure out what I can buy around 39ish weeks that won't go bad or spoil or be hard as a rock.

What snacks/goodies did you like the most Angela? Give us ideas!
