Six hours done

So Sarah had the great idea that yesterday we should try to get to bed really early so that we could get *some* sleep before leaving for the hospital at midnight. Great idea in theory, too bad it didn't work. She went to bed at 7pm, and I went to bed at 8pm. Neither of us was able to sleep, and we actually both got up at 9 and watched a movie on TV. We finally managed to get in an hour between 11 and midnight, before getting up and heading for the hospital.

Once there, getting checked in and hooked up was an interesting process. The first bit of medicine for the induction was at 2am, and we may have managed to get an hour total of sleep between 2 and now (6). This was mostly due to various difficulties with IV, bathroom breaks, and then of course some mild contractions started. And in all this, each time she moves, we have to verify that the various monitors are still hooked up and doing thier jobs. So, not a lot of sleep through the night, and of course just as Sarah has finally completely zonked out they should be in shortly with the next dose of meds. I think I will need some coffee with my breakfast. Where is a Tims when you need one? (for any American readers, 'Tims' refers to Tim Hortons coffee and donut shops, probably the most ubiquitous coffee chain in Canada)
