We ended up needing a c section for our big boy. We welcomed Samson Oliver into the world at 10:14 last night. He weighs 8 pounds and 10 ounces and is 21 inches long. I've never felt a love more pure. I can't put him down.

The worst part of being induced: no eating or drinking until delivery. I've got such a dry mouth and my stomach is growling.

I can't sleep in hospitals.... especially not with this annoying ass iv. Pitocin starts in 2 hours and hopefully I'll have a baby by the end of the day.

My mom has to take me to be induced because my boyfriend is working until the time we're supposed to be there. Maybe it's a good thing and if he comes after the IV is already started, he may not pass out like he did when we had to go to the ER for dehydration. That day he hit the wall and ended up with a concussion. I need him present today. 😂😂😂

I go in less than 4 hours to be induced! So excited to meet my little boy and get rid of this back pain and Braxton Hicks contractions. We're probably looking at having him tomorrow or early Tuesday if all goes well. 😍

I go in to be induced tomorrow. I feel like I should be super excited but all I've been is down all day. Spent the whole day in bed and when my boyfriend got home from work it felt like he didn't even want to spend time with me. It's our last night alone together and I spent the entire evening crying in the bedroom. Now he's asleep and I didn't even get a good night kiss or anything. I feel like something is wrong but he keeps telling me there isn't. I'm so nervous and paranoid and I just needed...

Maybe it's from where the doctor tried to stretch me to 2cm yesterday or maybe it's all the walking we did or maybe it was the sex but I believe labor may be starting on its own. More pain in my lower belly, the back pain has moved to my lower back, I've also got wicked bad diarrhea and bloody discharge (more than from a cervical check but less than the amount required to worry). I don't know how I'm going to do anything on this big long list of mine in this much pain.

Baby doctor went well. Samson still isn't ready to come out. I'm almost at 2cm though so we've issued him an eviction notice and we're going Sunday to be induced. Hopefully our baby boy will be here by Monday evening. 💙

Doctor's appointment in just a little while. Been having horrible back pain and Braxton Hicks. Going to see if we can go ahead and be induced since our due date is only 5 days away.

I think I'm having back labor. Dont want to go to the hospital and get sent home again but I can't stand this pain. I've taken tylenol and tried a heating pad and resting and extra fluids but nothing helps. And the l&d nurse asked me if I could time the pains but they're pretty much constant.
