Sponge Bob

A little update on Waylon for ya:


I went to the hospital a little after 2:00 a.m. Wednesday with contractions 2 minutes apart last for about 30 secs. Thought it was time. I get checked in, the midwife checks me, and says I'm at a 3 and 60% effaced. They decide to admit me. I call my Mom and sister who live 2 hours away to come down for the big arrival.
7:00 a.m. rolls around, I get checked again and I'm at a 4 now but still at 60% effaced. Contractions not really consistent. Getting tired.

Family arrives shortly after and I've been in the tub, walking the halls, on the medicine ball. Got some breakfast and got checked again, still at a 4!

The 1st midwife tells me that if I don't progress they'll give me some potosin, or break my water to get things moving. 2nd shift midwife says, I will not do that. You still have time. And because the cord is around his neck, if we break your water, the cord could slip through 1st before the head and then we have real problems.

They call the massage therapist on staff and she does some trigger points and that gets my contractions back in full swing. The midwife said I have two hours to prove myself that I'm going into labor. After two hours, still at a 4!!

I got sent home!!! So I'm now playing the waiting game. Still having contractions, just not consistent. Come on out Waylon, I'm uncomfortable and ready for you!!!!


The reason I titled this post Sponge Bob is because the CMT told me that they had a family here who gave birth to a boy. They named him, but then forgot that they told their 3 yr old son that he could name the baby. Their son chose Sponge Bob for the baby's name. Not kidding. The hospital called the birth certificate center to see if that was legal that they could really name a child that, and they said what ever the parent wants, that is what you have to put on the birth certificate.
So the baby boy, left the hospital with the name: Sponge Bob!
Can't you believe it? What are these parents thinking????
