Friday was not a good day for Mommy. She had severe back pains all day long... every 5 mins or less she'd have a contraction that lasted nearly a minute.
Daddy officially started his paternity leave from work today and vacuumed the house in preparation for my arrival in addition to making Mommy as comfortable as possible. He rubbed her back a lot, drew her a bath, and setup a heating pad, all of which had varying degrees of temporary reduction, but not elimination, of the back pain.
At 130pm Mommy had her weekly doctor appointment. Naturally I was the star the show with excellent ratings in all my tests. Mommy was 90% thinned and still only 1cm dilated. The doc recommended Tylenol PM (tm) and gave us a prescription for Ambien (A sleep aid). She took some Ambien (tm) for it, but that only allowed her to sleep for about an hour or so.
Her back pain continued through the day and well into the evening, preventing her from sleeping for more than 5 mins at a time, even with the medicine. It ain't exactly no picnic for me in here either. It's like I'm surfing without a board. Wave after wave of contraction keeps hitting me, forcing me to move a little bit further towards...Towards.... TOWARDS....
