I'm currently in the hospital waiting to have my gallbladder removed! I don't know if it will be today or tomorrow but at least it will finally be taken out! Yippee!
Squeeeeeeee !!! OC, Congrats on the birth of your bouncing baby boy (and *finally* getting that dang gallbladder removed!). I've been thinking of you often, so I'm thrilled to hear the update!
Yay!!!

Thank you on both fronts!
I am recovering now from the removal. I am in quite a bit of pain but it is bearable & at least I know this pain will go away!
I am missing both my boys terribly but I will go home tomorrow.

I have to update everyone with so much!!!So I went to my doctor & he wanted to test me for preeclampsia. That wasn't a fun 24 hours because every time I had to go to the bathroom I had to pee in the hat & transfer the urine into a container & then put that container into the fridge. I also got bloodwork done & at the last doctor's appointment my OB said I looked fine but he didn't have the results from the 24 hour urine.
I was due to have an appointment with my OB on the 8th before I was suppose to go in to the hospital to be induced on the 9th. But the morning of the 4th I thought my water broke & I started having contractions so we got everything in motion to go to the hospital. My water didn't break & I wasn't dialated any further than the 3cm I was already dialated. I thought they were going to hydrate me & send me home but since my contractions were getting stronger & I live over an hour & a half away the on call OB decided to admit me.
So I was admitted & moved to a room in L&D. I was given an antibiotic, epidural (that didn't completely work on my right side), popped my water & then given pitocin. For awhile I wasn't dialating past 4cm. I thought I'd be in labor all night & into the morning. I started fearing I'd need a c-section. Then all of a sudden I was in massive pain & pressure, shaking & shivering. I have never felt that kind of pain before. I went from 4cm to 10cm in less than 5 minutes. In 2 pushes my second son came into this world on 3/4/17 at 2317. He weighed 7lb 2oz & was 20.75in long.
Congrats!!!

Congratulations! I'd been wondering how you were! Hope you're home and feeling well.
