GRRRRR

Well, I called the hospital back at 1. They said they'd call me when they had a spot. Well, I called back at 2:30. The head nurse told me then that they had someone in recovery that would be going upstairs soon & that she'd get me in then so to call her at about 3:45. Called back at 3:30 & the nurses & changed shifts. The nurse that answered the phone told me they'd call me when they had a spot for me. I tried to patiently explain I was first on the list at 6 this morning & that they keep telling me to call back in an hour & "we'll get you in then." So, that nurse went & got the head nurse. The new head nurse was SO rude. She basically told me, "You're not a priority b/c you aren't a medical necessity induction, you're an elective induction & I'll take you when I want to." So, as you can imagine, that made me really mad. I called my dr.'s office after that & talked to my dr.'s nurse. I told her that my dr. had told me last week that he wouldn't be available tonight b/c he had to go pick his daughter up so when I called the office earlier to find out who was on call I found out that the dr. on call all weekend is the dr. I've seen that I did not like & did not want her to deliver me. So, I asked her if my dr. isn't going to be available if I can have this other dr. in the office deliver me instead of the one I don't like. She talked to my dr. & called me back. She said that my dr. will be available all night but has a surgery in the morning & won't be available after that. So, I asked again, if I don't get into the hospital & deliver tonight if I can have this other dr. deliver me. That's when she told me, "Well, we'd have to ask him & he isn't in today, but he is in tomorrow so we could ask him then. But, you're going to get in tonight & have him tonight." That's when I bluntly told her, "Well, I'm not getting my hopes up anymore and I'm pretty pissed off at the hospital right now."
So, here it is 5 pm & I still haven't even been to the hospital today but I'm sure my blood pressure is really high after all the phone calls I've had! The nurse I talked to last said I could keep calling the hospital to check to see if they could take me but otherwise to wait for them to call me. I told her "yea right. You guys keep telling me you'll call me back today & you haven't called me one time!" So, I will keep calling the hospital back until they take me! I am not happy about the prospect of laboring all night long but I suppose if they can't take me until 10 pm that's when I'll go b/c if I wait until tomorrow I'll have to go through all this crap again!
Hopefully my next post will be of baby pictures! Hope you had a more productive day than I have!!

Waiting...

Well, I'm supposed to be started today. I called the hospital at 6 am this morning & was told they had 1 person in front of me that needed to be delivered before I could come in. I called back at 9:15 & was told they thought they could get me in within an hour but if I hadn't heard back from them by 11 to give them a call back. I called back at 11 & was told they'd gotten unexpectedly busy so to call them back at 1 if I hadn't heard from them by then! I'm really hoping we get to have this baby today!! My feet can't take the enormous amount of swelling anymore!! They feel like they're about to pop! I'll keep this post updated as I can! Keep your fingers crossed & think water breaking thoughts for me (then they'll have to take me!)!!
