Today, I had a special treat....well, that depends on how you might look at it. Earlier in the day, I called my young friend Brittany Kinard to see if she wanted to come hang out a bit at the Labor & Delivery Unit. Nothing much was happening with us, and she is interested in nursing. She's currently in a program through her high school, and when she got my message, she thought she would like to come over.
It seems that there was another procedure my midwife recommended, and Brittany arrived just before the midwife (Deb) and nurse (Lauren) came in to propose the procedure. Before long, they invited Brittany into helping them with it, and she was able to observe and assist the midwife insert a balloon-like apparatus into my cervix, then blow it up a bit to help start dilation (we're "just" at 1 cm, barely right now). So...Brittany has now seen parts of me that I never dreamed she would see, but she was very mature and professional about it, and I know she'll make a great nurse someday!
I told her this was her graduation present....that's all she's getting! : )
Our Pastor Keith visited today, too, but um....split before that procedure began. LOL!!! His time before that he spent time encouraging us about timing and waiting on the Lord. We were thankful that he could stop by.
So, no Tucker yet, but it was a special day!
