grrrrrrrrrr

ok, so Brooke is a real trooper.  

she's laboring, cramping, contracting

and ne'er a complaint :)

well ... that's not entirely true ... 

but my point is that she is enduring well

so last night we went to the hospital after a day of good hard contractions

she was still at 3 centimeters (HUGE disappointment) but the regular contractions showing on the monitor were impressive

so the nurse called the doctor (just a guy on-call, not someone Brooke has ever seen) who said she could stay, walk around for 2 hours, then if she progressed they would admit her

you should have seen Brooke tromp up and down the hospital stairs!

after 2 hours they hooked her back up only to see that her contractions were astronomical and very close together

they checked her and she had dilated one more centimeter to a 4

YIPEE

then they sent her home.

oh my heck!!!!!!  we could have done all that walking somewhere more pleasurable and then been together at home .... me-thinks the doctor didn't want to come in last night.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
