We are now 30 hours into our second stay at the hospital for Julianna’s induction. This visit started much like our encounter earlier this week. We checked in at 8:30 p.m. after enjoying a relaxing Thanksgiving afternoon at our home. Shortly after settling in, Tamara took on the first of seven Cytotec doses. The contraction pains started to become progressively more intense Friday morning. From morning until evening Tamara experienced a contraction every 90 seconds. As the evening moved on and her endurance waned, the contractions became more erratic, intense, and typically lasted 120 seconds each. She received her first dose of pain medicine at 9:30 p.m. on Friday and another two hours later. The first treatment took a significant edge off the pain; its impact quickly dissipated, however, upon receiving another dose of Cytotec. The second Nubain treatment went virtually unnoticed.Around 12:30 a.m. on Saturday we determined it was time for an epidural. The relief and change was sudden. In another hour, at 3:00 a.m., Tamara will receive her eighth dose of Cytotec and we will continue to await the arrival of our dear Julianna.
