Well, its Christmas, and we just got back from the hospital. We spent the day at Kelly's mothers house, opening presents, and having a great time. Well, she went into labor again, sitting in the chair. We left right away to the hospital. We got there, they put her on the monitor as usual, and everything was fine, as usual. They gave her Brethine, to stop the contractions. We have been to the hospital for this same thing tons of times in the past week, but this time it really got to me. She started shaking, her heart rate went way up, to around 110 BPM. My wife's jaw was quivering, and she was shaking like a leaf. Did I mention shaking? It was terrible to witness, and I was scared as hell. And that was only the first shot. They came back in two more times, to give her three shots in total. By the third one we were both in shambles. I was sitting in the chair, sad to see my wife in so much terrible pain. The contractions stopped, but our child is head down and facing forward, so Kelly is in severe back labor/pain. The contractions might have stopped after an hour, but the back pain was unbelievable. After watching my wife cry for the first time through this whole thing, I broke down. I cant handle seeing my wife in pain, and suffering. I rubbed her back for a while in the hospital. The nurse came in shortly after, and released us. We got home, she took a Lortab, and went to sleep.
Why were we so mad about this event? Her main doctor, told us, and I quote "if you go into labor on or after Christmas, we will keep you in the hospital and deliver your baby as soon as possible." Her secondary doctor was on call last night, who doesn't agree with her main doctor about things. They are always playing tug-o-war, with my wife and I in the middle. So, guess what, he released us last night!!
