The Braseltons

I leave for a couple of hours and all is disheveled. Ice water is empty. Fetal monitor is alerting visually because the heart rate monitor didn’t have enough goop on the puck. The fetal monitor was also alerting audibly because it was out of paper. Breakfast was carbohydrate central for a person that has gestational diabetes? Again? What the heck? The urine specimin catcher was full with two specimins! Never checked or emptied. It is supposed to be checked every time. I had to empty it again because as I arrive, Tammy has to pee. The stupid thing can’t hold three!

All in the ten minutes that I arrive. All is calm and corrected… For now…

The doctor came by and mentioned the possibility of Tammy getting out at 10ish tonight. We will see. We have noticed that different people say different things. There will be a shift change at 19:00 anyway and things might change. Who knows? The doctor said that if the baby wants to come now, they will not stop it since they gave her all of the medicine to help her along. In that case, we will go to another hospital that has a NICU.
