Waiting, Waiting, Waiting

So far today has sucked. I felt pretty confident I would go into the hospital this morning - especially because my doctor was confident about it. So I woke up at 5:00 this morning (not that I slept much anyway) and started getting ready because I knew I needed more time if I had to be there by 7:00 once I called at 5:30. So by 5:30 I was showered and had washed and dried my hair.

I called up L&D at the hospital - too busy to take me yet. Call back at 8:00 for a time. Uggggg! I was so upset. So John and I tried to get more sleep, but that was hard - I got about 30 more minutes. I got out of bed again at 7:00 and went ahead and finished getting ready in case they said to come in right away when I called again.

I called again at 8:00 - still too busy. They said they would call me when they knew what time to tell me. I wasn't satisfied by that so I said "and what time should I call you if I don't hear anything?" And they said 10:00. So now I have another 30 minutes to sit here until my next call. I feel sickly and miserable and tired. It's very depressing.

Why is there so much waiting with pregnancy??? So frustrating. I'm glad they haven't flat out told me "no" regarding today, but I'm still not optimistic I will get in yet. I still have a glimmer of hope though. I just feel like all I will do today is sit by the phone and call every 2 hours just to hear "not yet". I wish Pea would get frustrated too and just decide to start coming on her own - then they have to take me!

That's my whining. I just feel so teased right now. Maybe we didn't have to worry about Pea being born on the 13th after all!

Please send me "admission vibes"!!!
