Thanks for letting us know, Blessings!  Will be praying indeed!  Keep us posted!   :love7:

Already being said! Let us know how things are going :) So excited for you  :love7:

Praying all goes well.

Praying for sweetpea!

Happily praying!   :nike:

Any news?? waiting patiently... sorta, lol  :love4:

They are inducing over time, over night, so baby probably won't be born till tomorrow unless something unexpected happens.

On the other hand, dd17 called Blessings right as she was leaving for the hospital and it wasn't a pleasant call, so add peace
for Blessings during this time as well and that she can enjoy the next day without that added stressor.

All my prayer to Sweetpea!

Another of God's blessings on thier way.  Amen!

Oh, I'm sorry... I just guessed that it was started early am. Now I feel silly.

i was induced w/dd so that's my only experience, sorry for the overreaction 

Lots of prayers going out to your family blessings!!

Ahhhh, the darling boy got to call in on his "apology" I see..... :angry4:     Too bad Blessings answered the phone! 

For cripes sake, can't they just leave the poor woman to have ONE MOMENT of peace without their drivel?

Go back to being bung-holes AFTER the baby is born.  Let Blessings have this moment, hassle free.

Praying.

For you Blessings,  Hoping things are going as expected or better.  Hug that sweetpea (that is if she'll allow you to...or give her your hand to squeeze the heck out of if she wont!  :D)

Will look forward to hearing exciting news from our newest grandma soon.  Hoping tonight creates some wonderful memories.

kbdy, I thought the same thing, that they would start early this morning, but it was late afternoon.

Just checked my cell phone and there isn't anything new yet.

Hello treasured friends!

So glad for all of you.

Sweetpea was admitted to the hospital tonight at 5 and the induction process was started.  A medication was given to start the process.  There was no progress, so more medication was given at 9 by the physician.  Sweetpea was given a sleeping pill at 10, hoping she can get some sleep tonight before they start the pitocin tomorrow morning, probably about 8 a.m.

I am back at their home, as they have two sweet dogs that need some attention.  I am going to grab a few hours of sleep and head back there early in the morning.  My cell phone is within arms length, and if anything changes during the night, I can be back at the hospital in less than 15 minutes.

I had a lovely chat with the nurses, and I know that sweetpea and son in law are in good hands.

It still was awful to leave sweet pea and come to their home.  But I really am not adding anything...but it was hard.

As for DD.   :angry4:

Literally as I was getting ready to head out with sweetpea, DD called for her weekly call night.  She was in a cranky mood, and refused to talk to me.  I tried to re direct her, and it didn't go well.  Then I blew it, and tried to use logic with her and told her that I needed to be with sweetpea and she unloaded on me.  That it is always about sweet pea, that sweetpea is my favorite.  I then asked to talk to a family teacher, and should have hung up, but didn't.  Finally a family teacher interupted the call.  I was in tears by then.  I told her I couldn't do this and explained what had happened.  I was not good.  Sweetpea was awesome, as was SIL, and bijou and 13Harley.  Bijou and 13Harley talked me off the raddercoaster after I had gone a round or two.  So so glad for them.

Did call DD back a few hours later, and she apologized.  Big deal.  She told me that she was upset that she wasn't with me, and I told her that it was unfortunate, but it was a consequence to her actions 15 months ago.  And that she was taking it out on me.  She then told me that she had been going to ask if she could come out next weekend when hubby comes to pick me up.   :o

I asked her what she thought now after she had been so awful to me.  She got mad at me.  I also asked what had happened after she and I ended our first call.  She said that she had gone non compliant and left the home.   :BangHead:

I was finally able to talk to her and tell her that being with sweet pea is where I was going to be, and that we would discuss this more.

After I hung up, I was shaking.  Talked to bijou and 13Harley, AGAIN, and they talked me down again.

All I know is that our next team meeting is going to be interesting.  The RTC is telling me that DD is doing so wonderful and that she is ready to come home.

After this little incident, that is so not happening!

Anyway, that is my day!  So thankful for all of your prayers.

Heading to bed so that I can get up soon and head back to the hospital!

Truly, so so thankful for all of you!

Hoping today sweeps away the craziness with dd.  Just wondering, would it be possible for dd to call dh for her nightly chats during the rest of your visit.  He can update her and you can enjoy a mental break and focus where you need to.

Oops, thought it was ds who called for some reason!     At any rate, crazy and anger can wait.....get thee to the mommy and baby  ;D   (where's that live stream when you need it!)

Blessings,

I'm sorry for the troublesome call with DD. I know you have had SO many of these and you are overwhelmed and PTSD and CTSD and troubled, and currently worried about SWP and baby, which makes it so hard to handle just. one. more. stress. So I don't fault your reaction.

OTOH... I'm sure that SWP having a baby is pretty darn stressful for DD. Lots of trauma, lots of feelings of ~why didn't someone care for me like that~, and ~the baby will take more love away from me~.

The bottom line to DD feeling like you love SWP more - of course it's not true, and of course you afforded ALL of them every opportunity to have a good life... but DD FEELS unloved and unlovable and undeserving. It's a whole lot easier and safer to blame all that on you and SWP and your good relationship - it'd be pretty risky to actually tell you in words that she feels unloved and unlovable and undeserving - and in truth, she may not even fully recognize that herself to be able to say it.

So, if you're up to it, when you're both more regulated, and able to talk logically, maybe you can talk about that....
And the next time she shares feelings like that with you, maybe you can go with her stated feelings, and repeat them to her, tweaked just a little. Take SWP out of it. "You feel like I don't love you. You feel unloved. That must hurt so much." With full sincerity and acceptance.

Eager to hear news, Blessings!  Hope all's going well with you & your loved ones.
Still praying here....

Thinking of you, Dear Blessings.

Happiness only.

HHUUGGSS

Is it a bouncing baby yet?

Blessings will probably come by sometime today to share her news with everyone.   ;D

Hello all!

My grandson was born at 2:05 a.m.  My sweet girl was induced at 8 a.m. the 13th, and had a very long day.  Labored until 5 p.m. to get to the point she could have an epidural, and then labored until 11 p.m. when she was complete and able to push.

Poor kiddo, she did her best, but after 2 hours of pushing had to have a c-section.

Grandson was 20 inches, 7 pounds 15 ounces.  He is absolutely beautiful.  Got to spend part of the day with them, then got to go back for a bit this evening.  Mama and baby are doing well!  And daddy is so proud!

Thank you all for your prayers and warm thoughts.

They mean so much!

Oh, by the way, DD and I have talked, more about that in another thread.

Excellent news!!!  I've been checking the boards like I'm manic, hoping to hear that baby and mama (and grandma) are all well.  Thanks for the update, and congratulations!

Congratulations!   Happy Grandmothering!!    :occasion16: :occasion16:

Wonderful new blessings.  Sorry labor was so difficult.  Glad you are getting to share this wonderful experience with your daughter.

Joyful news!

Congrats on the newest family member, dear one!

May God be with you and yours this blessed day.
 :love7:

Congratulations!   :occasion16:

Sorry it was hard for Swp, but also know, it was still an experience that will be with her forever!  And the pain of labor is soon forgotten..(otherwise who would EVER repeat it??  LOL)

Glad baby is healthy and mom, dad and GRANDMA are beaming.

(HUGS)

You all are the best!

And snuggling on sweet baby is such a joy.

I only ever had one baby, and that was sweetpea 14.  And I was blessed to adopt her as a newborn, but because of her CP and sensory issues, she was not a snuggy baby.  She preferred her car seat or swing.  Which was a great sadness.

But this lil tyke is a complete and total snuggle bug!

So blessed!
