UPDATE: CATHETER IS OUT!!!!

SO the Dr. didn't lower my mag level on IV, but ordered for the catheter to be taken out. I guess he wants to see how contractions are with minimal activity (bedside commode...LOL). I don't think the nurse has seen anyone so dramatic about a catheter taken out. She was wonderful though and let me squeeze her arm. They tell me it should hurt a few days since I was on it for 10 days. My prayer is that contractions don't start and it has to be reinserted. At that point I'd rather go into labor!!!

Hard to believe my feet will be hitting the floor soon. Kingsley will come tonight and hopefully assist me off bed for the first time in 10 days ...WOO HOO... Party in my room!!!. They better watch out... I may just take off and never come back.... I'm liking the homebirth idea more and more!!!!
