On May 28, 2007 my fiancee Dave and I went to Pittsburgh for our appointment on May 29. We arrived late evening on Monday, Memorial Day and also Dave's birthday. We went and got a bite to eat, headed back to our room and tried to wait patiently for the next morning.
We awoke early on Tuesday, and got ready to head to MaGee's Womens hospital in Pittsburgh. We were scheduled for an amniocentesis at around 8:30 am. When we got there it seemed like forever before they got us back to the sonogram room. Once we were back there the student tech took some pictures and then left the room to get the doctor. We really didn't think much of it until the doctor came back in the room with one of those looks on his face. He explained that he wanted to take a look at the baby and do some measurements. After what felt like forever, he looked at the nurse and told her to let the upstairs know that we were on our way up. That is when he turned to us and explained that Joshua had almost no fluid around him and that I was being admitted and induced now.
Away we went, upstairs and then it seemed as if things started to move in slow motion. They got me all hooked up to the monitors and IVs, they started giving me the potocin to help the contractions come sooner, gave me medicine to help dilate my cervix more. We made our phone calls to family and friends and knew that this was the start of a long road.
