37 WEEKS!

Kristi went back to hospital with pain in her left side. Since there was a cyst early in her pregnancy on that side, very small and was determined not to be a problem, it was left alone...removing only the big one from the right ovary. As the day wore on, before going to hospital, the pain was getting worse and had stretched across her entire lower abdomen. Rather than wait for the pain to be at an 8 (on a scale of 1-10) they decided to go ahead and go in and have it checked. They admitted her. They said there were no contractions. They checked her cervix and said it was 50% effaced and that she was 1 cm dialated. They said the baby was head down, they could feel the head. Kristi had not been drinking fluids much during the day and they had problems getting an IV started. Finally after 3 sticks, they got one. She's back on morphine and feeling a little better but she can feel the contractions now. Before me and Cathy left, they were about 3 minutes apart for 20 minutes or so then spread back out. Lights out...Kristi and Alivia are getting rest.
