Amnio from the Mother's Perspective

Allow me to say that prior to actually going in for the Amnio with the hopes of being induced that same day - I had heard some interesting painful stories from others who had gone through it. So I was naturally very apprehensive. The doc asked me if I wanted to know what was going to happen and I prompty insisted that I would rather NOT know. Just to do the procedure the way they normally do it.

The first time they stuck me failed. However that was the most painful of them all. The pain was bearable but it is needless to say I would not volunteer to randomly get an amnio in the future. Every sob or sudden breath caused the needle to go in a little deeper than they meant it to, causing more discomfort than necessary. The second time they stuck me was like magic. It barely hurt at all. I was breathing easier and steadier (I guess knowing what to expect). As much as I was originally against having the Amnio done in the first place, it wound up being the best decision.

Baby Joey's lungs were not developed yet. They were looking for a score of 55+ and he only got 29. So the doctors decided to postpone the induction to 39 weeks (November 18th). I am still hoping to go into labor on my own before then if at all possible.

The Amnio is not comfortable by any means - but it is a wise decision to get it done. The risks of the baby not being ready completely outweigh any other possible complication. Getting the Amnio - definitely saved my baby from a possibly tragic ending birth.

Still Waiting On Baby Joey!!!

To Baby Joey in possession of below described premises:

I am issuing a 5 day notice for EVICTION. You will have 5 days in which you can either gather your belongings and promptly vacate the premises, or wait until the final day. After which, you will be physically removed from the property.
You are being evicted due to breech of contract and destruction of property. Expansions only to the FRONT of the house, within reasonable limits, were discussed. Not only have these limits been exceeded, but additions to the back of the house were also made!
Remodeling and gutting of the home was never approved, nor was changing the initial layout and base structure. And due to property damage, there are now leaks in both the upper AND lower levels of the home. On top of which, the landlord has received numerous complaints about nightly disturbances.
After 5 days from this day that you don't comply with the notice will result in immediate and forceful removal at my discretion.

Respectfully,
Your Landlords (aka Mommy and Daddy)


Induction Date is Scheduled for Wednesday, November 18th, 2009...
