Who goes to the hospital to be induced for labor and it doesn't work so they send you home? ME. I am so discouraged and tired. So many meds and contractions and discomfort for nothing. We went in Sunday evening with great anticipation: we're having a baby tomorrow! After a rough night of reactions to medication, oxygen, and pain, we awoke to the hope of it all ending soon. However, Monday proved to not be an ending but the beginning of more to come. By about 4:30pm, almost 24 hours, we were sent home. It was very bizarre coming home to a house full of awaiting baby stuff and no baby to use it. When you go in to be induced you expect you'll come home with a baby! It was a very strange feeling - like I had lost him. It was probably the exhaustion and disappointment combined, but I definitely lost it on my way to bed. God's timing has NEVER been my own - and He continually proves that I have to trust Him in HIS timing....

WOW - that was a painful contraction!

So, here's hoping for a healthy baby boy born in God's timing!
