Hi..ho..hi..ho..Off to the hospital we go!

Finally, we are in the hospital! We thought this day will never come!  Tonight, I am scheduled to get administered with Cervidil which is suppose to help soften the cervix. Tomorrow morning is the actual induction. I am still feeling great. I haven't had any contractions or anything though :-/.

We were told to report to the hospital at 7:00 pm but I got a call from my doc's office around 3:30 pm to tell me that I need to get to the hospital at 5:30 pm instead! My doc wanted me to get to the hospital early because apparently, the hospital was busy and she wanted to make sure I get  my own room. All the "snow storm" babies are being born at this time which explains why the hospital, particularly the Labor & Delivery floor has a full house! Daddy Jarbs was still at work  when I received the call from my doc's office so I had to call him to tell him he has to go home asap. We arrived at the hospital close to 6:00 pm.  After getting registered, we were told to come back to L&D at 7:00 pm to wait for a room to free up. Since we had an hour to waste, we left the hospital and drove out to  Palisades and got sushi to-go for Daddy Jarbs. We also stopped at Safeway to get me some crackers and popsicles. It's now 8:00 pm and we are still waiting for a room! Darn snow storm babies! lol

8:20 pm  - Finallly got a room! Have the fetal and contractions monitor around my belly. Cervix was checked and still fingertip dilated and no effacement :-(. Baby's heartbeat is strong..150 bpm.

9:20 pm - Cervidil was inserted. It did not bother me at all.

10:00 pm - The nurse checked on me. Apparently, I am having contractions (according to the monitor),  but I do not feel anything! I do not know if that's good or bad?
