Going to the Hospital

We were watching Canada's Next Top Model (I'm ashamed to admit) when we got a call from the hospital. It was the call we'd been waiting for for a long day and a half. Silvina was running nine days late and the doctor wanted to induce, but the hospital was all booked up after the long weekend.

Anyway, they said that they could take us for an induction right away. So, before we learnt who was getting the boot from the show, we packed up the labour bag and left for the hospital. It was about a quarter to nine at night on Wednesday July 5.

We went to the triage area in the labour unit and they hooked Silvina up to a baby heartbeat monitor and something that measured contractions. After some blood work, we waited around and watched the baby's heartbeat jumping around between 130 and 160.
