August 24th

We had our Antenatal testing at 1:45pm. Since we are a week over due, Heddy scheduled her induction for tonight. Our appointment at UCSF was set for 8:00pm. We arrived at the hospital and was graciously escorted to our Labor and Delivery suite. Heddys cervix was ready for the next stage in the induction process and she is now recieving "Pitocin" through an intravenous catheter. Contractions have been getting shorter through the morning and the pain has been increasing.
She recieved an optimal dose of pain medicine and to buffer the pain as well she can take a puff or two of Nitric Oxide "laughing gas" which was prescribed. Heddys water just broke. I am out of here.
