[12:22] *** Now talking in #TwinBirth
[12:23] *** MountainKitten (kgholder@***.midsouth.rr.com) has joined #TwinBirth
*** Retrieving #TwinBirth info...
[12:25] *** Kimberlly sets mode: +s
[12:27] *** Wix (birth@***.tnt4.cle1.da.uu.net) has joined #TwinBirth

[12:27] < Wix> *waves*
[12:28] * Wix waves
[12:28] < libbydolcourt> Hi!
[12:28] < Kimberlly> oh gooodie!
[12:28] < Kimberlly> yay - I have ops here!
[12:28] < libbydolcourt> ;!
[12:28] < libbydolcourt> Argh.  That was a benevolent smile
[12:28] * Kimberlly grins
[12:29] < Kimberlly> nurse is leaving - amy is now starting to have some contractions  :)
[12:29] *** tammyporter (birth@***.xtised.com) has joined #TwinBirth
[12:29] < libbydolcourt> Contractions are like drinks, the stronger the better!
[12:29] < MountainKitten> I wouldn't say that now :)
[12:30] < Kimberlly> update so far: she would probably be going into labor today anyway - she arrived this morning 3-4cm dilated, and 80-90% effaced all on her own!
[12:30] < Kimberlly> prostaglandin was started around 9:30 ..
[12:30] < Kimberlly> waters were broken about 11:30 ...
[12:30] < Kimberlly> and around 1:00 they'll start pitocin if contractions aren't going regularly ...
[12:31] < Kimberlly> libby - amy and charles are cracking up at your comment
[12:31] < libbydolcourt> are you still in the triage center or are you in a room?
[12:31] < Kimberlly> lol - she says she's a linguist, and contractions don't mean the same thing to her as they do to you  ;>
[12:31] < Kimberlly> we're in a room ...
[12:31] < Kimberlly> however...
[12:32] < Kimberlly> they want to do the actual delivery in the OR ...
[12:32] < libbydolcourt> I'm assuming that's standard?
[12:32] *** woody (birth@***.xtised.com) has joined #TwinBirth
[12:33] < Kimberlly> it is standard, but we're kinda pushing for at LEAST letting me and Kathy (charles' sister) in the OR ...
[12:34] < libbydolcourt> Maybe the idea of chat room fame would appeal to these doctors like it did to the last doctors?
[12:34] < Kimberlly> not sure I'll be able to be online during the actual delivery ...
[12:34] *** Heike (birth@***.parc.xerox.com) has joined #TwinBirth
[12:34] < Kimberlly> yay - people are making it over here!
[12:35] < libbydolcourt> Kim, how was your flight?
[12:35] < Kimberlly> but we're going to see what we can do  :)
[12:35] < Heike> Hi, everyone!
[12:35] < Kimberlly> fligh twas delayed, but fine  :)
[12:35] < Kimberlly> hi heike!
[12:35] < Heike> Thanks for taking care of that person...
[12:35] < Kimberlly> she's having a tiny contraction ... not too much ...
[12:35] < Kimberlly> no prob  :)
[12:36] < Kimberlly> this channel is now secret ...
[12:36] < Kimberlly> and I have ops ability  :)
[12:36] < Kimberlly> amy's gonna have a walk around  :)
[12:36] < Kimberlly> they took all the monitors off so she can walk freely :)
[12:36] < libbydolcourt> We'll stay on your good side
[12:36] < Kimberlly> maybe that'll get stuff in gear  :)
[12:37] < Heike> Did they use the gel yet?
[12:37] < Kimberlly> yup - that was around 9:30 I think  :)
[12:38] < Kimberlly> kathy is going to class now ... but she'll be back in a couple hours  :)
[12:38] < Kimberlly> they just brought in a better pole for her IV ... the old one has old shopping-cart wheels  < g>
[12:40] < Wix> A good friend of mine was out mowing her lawn the day she went into labor.  It was her fourth child, and she was hoping to induce with physical labor :)
[12:40] < Heike> so did it work?
[12:41] < Wix> Sure did :)
[12:42] < Kimberlly> so amy and charles just went for a walk - I'm here on my own now  :)
[12:42] < Wix> Tell Amy to do a few flights of stairs :)
[12:42] < Kimberlly> that's what charles was just saying  ;>
[12:43] < Kimberlly> but they just told her that since she's had her membranes broken, she should really just stay here on this floor (2nd floor - good thing too, since the elevators take FOREVER!)
[12:45] < Heike> Is Amy aloud to eat or drink? Someone suggested hot pizza and Beer to me when I was 10 days overdue with Lara...
[12:46] < Kimberlly> no - they stopped her eating earlier, and just a little while ago told her no more ice chips!
[12:48] < woody> Doesn't one chew on ice when they're ... frustrated?
[12:48] < Wix> That's harsh
[12:49] *** Ladybug (birth@***.mecdc.net) has joined #TwinBirth
[12:49] < Ladybug> *waves to say hi and many blessings
[12:49] < Kimberlly> hey Ladybug! 
[12:49] * Kimberlly hugs her good friend!
[12:50] < Ladybug> :smiles.
[12:50] < Kimberlly> I think so too wix ... I can't see how ice is going to cause a problem - even with an emergency c-section ...
[12:50] < Ladybug> OK, How do I emote????
[12:50] < Kimberlly> they do surgery on accident victims who just had pizza < grins>
[12:50] < Kimberlly> lb type /me grins  (or whatever)
[12:50] < Kimberlly> I think that should work
[12:50] * Ladybug smiles
[12:50] < Kimberlly> yay!
[12:50] < Ladybug> Cool
[12:50] * Kimberlly wasn't saying pizza causes accidents
[12:50] * Wix hugs his wife
[12:51] < Wix> Hiya LB
[12:51] < Ladybug> Heya
[12:51] * Ladybug looks on curiously
[12:51] < Kimberlly> not a lot happening right now - amy and charles just went on a walk
[12:51] < Ladybug> Wix, Do you think they'll let us in for Beata's birth?
[12:51] < Kimberlly> see if they can get some more regular/stronger contractions going  :)
[12:52] < Kimberlly> they'll be starting the pitocin at around 1:00
[12:52] < Wix> If we could transcribe Beata's (my sister-in-law) birth, I don't know who would be attending :)
[12:52] < Kimberlly> (unless she's contracting regularly before then)
[12:52] < Kimberlly> wix - I was shocked how many people got REALLY into it when I sent out that email about this chat room ... I betcha there would be friends and family who would want to be there :)
[12:53] * Heike tries
[12:53] < Kimberlly> yay heike!
[12:54] < Wix> That's true.  Beata's whole family in Hungary would love to be there, I'm sure
[12:55] < Heike> what do I do to emote? I tried '/me tries' didn't work
[12:55] < Wix> Yea it did!
[12:55] < Kimberlly> it worked heike!  we saw it fine!
[12:56] < Heike> Wow! now I saw it to. I just took so long to type...
[12:56] < Kimberlly> lol
[12:56] < Kimberlly> they just passed by the room ... rattling the iv stand  :)
[12:56] * Heike happy!
[12:57] < Heike> Is Kalinda with you?
[12:57] < Kimberlly> no - she's either at school, or at a friend's  :)
[12:58] < Ladybug> I just remembered you are 3 hours behind us.  I couldn't figure out why they would be starting the pitocin at 1am
[12:58] < Kimberlly> lol
[12:58] * Ladybug thinks that's cruel, inducing at 1am
[12:58] * Ladybug smiles
[12:59] < Ladybug> I have to head out.  Hopefully I'll check in later.
[12:59] < Ladybug> Oh, is there a special way to 'logout' or do I just quit my browser?
[12:59] < Kimberlly> or type /quit
[12:59] < Wix> Type /quit
[12:59] < Kimberlly> but either way will work :)

[13:08] < Kimberlly> she'll be delivering in the OR, which isn't a very inviting place particularly, but they've agreed to it - after getting them to agree that kathy and I can come in there (finally!)
[13:08] < Jason-Plato> < reminds self to answer Amy's e-mail she sent months ago>

[13:22] < tammyporter> She is really relieved!!!  I know the surgery ended up to be more extensive, but she shouldn't have too much stress over it anymore.....
[13:23] < AMYviaKim> I'm glad it's over, and glad it was benign!

[13:35] < guest77860> As in fireside pic

[13:39] < Kimberlly> update is they're about to start pitocin, she's at least 4cm (no check for a while now) and 90% effaced ... contractions are just crampy, not bad ...
[13:40] < Kimberlly> mild, but 45-60 seconds and 3 minutes apart  :)
[13:40] < Danny> And to the new two (right through the bedclothes (plcentae)
[13:40] < Danny> Glad you like me being square.

[13:40] < Danny> Who is in the room?
[13:40] * AMYviaKim groans!

[13:41] < AMYviaKim> no one is out!
[13:41] < Danny> You have a point there plato
[13:41] < AMYviaKim> and they're both moving around - but they separate quarters  :)
[13:42] < Danny> Yes but who is pointing where?
[13:42] < AMYviaKim> Liam (boy) is head down, at the starting gate ...
[13:42] < Jason-Plato> Yeah but if I wear a hat, no one notices
[13:42] < Danny> I thought the boy (being hte more docile creature) was standing at the door
[13:42] *** Heike has quit IRC (QUIT: User exited)
[13:42] < AMYviaKim> when the gate opens enough, he's outta there!
[13:42] < AMYviaKim> Zafina is up in the top floor, still breech, and kicking her brother sometimes :)
[13:43] < Danny> Gotta push him out.  Girls always demand more space :)
[13:43] < Jason-Plato> True
[13:43] < Danny> Gotta run to a meeting (what else, but I will keep connected, and thinking about you all.
[13:43] < Danny> Big hug Amy
[13:43] < Kimberlly> great - we'll be here!  :)
[13:45] *** Q has quit IRC (QUIT: User exited)
[13:45] < Kimberlly> they're waiting for the pump for the pitocin ... they only have 2 apparently available ...
[13:45] < Kimberlly> so no pitocin yet
[13:45] < Kimberlly> so we're on the list to get it whenever ...
[13:45] < jennet> Hi Amy, just to let you know I'm here and thinking of you.
[13:45] < Kimberlly> but her body is doing what it's supposed to right now really, the pitocin is just to enhance :)
[13:45] < Jason-Plato> < wonders how Kalinda is, knowing what it's like being oldest>
[13:45] < libbydolcourt> HI JENNET!
[13:46] < libbydolcourt> BTW--for everyone who contributed to the quilt, we did a great job surprising Amy
[13:46] < libbydolcourt> And Charles, too
[13:46] < AMYviaKim> kalinda will probably be very disappointed some day when she realizes she can't sent them back  :)
[13:46] < libbydolcourt> Amy actually asked me how I got in touch with every one...giggle
[13:46] < libbydolcourt> Then after I exclaimed AMY
[13:46] < Kimberlly> hee hee - that was SUCH a pleasure surprising her like that!!!
[13:46] < libbydolcourt> she got it in about 2 nanoseconds
[13:47] < libbydolcourt> And said some words I can't repeat
[13:47] < libbydolcourt> It is a good thing I use my powers for good
[13:47] < AMYviaKim> yes ... and she told me the bad words ...hee hee ... I'm not repeating them either  < g>
[13:47] < libbydolcourt> A big public thanks to Kim for all her hard work...

[13:49] < woody> Please tell Amy that Richard said cut out the chatting and get to work!
[13:49] * AMYviaKim laughs!
[13:49] < AMYviaKim> typical male - always trying to tell me how to do my job!
[13:49] < woody> Who knows best?!?
[13:50] < AMYviaKim> the woman - was that a trick question?
[13:50] < AMYviaKim> richard makes a wonderful tooth fairy  :)
[13:50] < woody> I'm only a guy, how would I know?
[13:50] < AMYviaKim> (that's in reference to the car seat)
[13:50] < woody> Who said I was a fairy?
[13:51] < tammyporter> Amy, do you know how he got it there?
[13:51] < Kimberlly> lol - that made the babies' heart beats go faster when she laughed  :)

[15:58] < Markus_Fromherz> I reviewed the Kalinda birth transcript the other night. Still fascinating. Do you still remember what APGAR is?
[15:59] < Kimberlly> what it means, or what hers were?
[15:59] < Kimberlly> lol - that's right - you were explaining that to mad back then!
[15:59] < Kimberlly> okay - epi is in and they're done ...
[15:59] < Markus_Fromherz> Actually, it was Costigan (Mark Shirley). Kalinda's APGAR score was 8.
[15:59] < Kimberlly> no medication, just the needle is in and ready - in case :)
[16:00] < Kimberlly> oh yeah - doh ... hey - would you email him if you think of it - I wasn't sure what his email was!
[16:00] < MadMax> markus, do I know you?

[16:00] < Markus_Fromherz> Kim - done.
[16:00] < Kimberlly> thanks markus!
[16:01] < Kimberlly> she's rearranging  herself back in the bed now  :)

[16:53] < Wix> (I just bought a laptop on eBay... first ever purchase on eBay :) )
[16:54] < Wix> How's momma?
[16:54] < Jason-Plato> Hi Wix. How much?
[16:54] < MadMax> expensive first purchase -- what're the specs?
[16:55] < Wix> $455 for a Compaq Presario 1065.  Pentium 133, CD-ROM, stereo sound, 33.6k modem, etc.  That's about what the laptops are going for, and exactly what I needed.
[16:55] * MadMax lol -- we go from baby-watching to geek mode in 5 seconds flat. ;)
[16:56] * Wix hehs
[16:56] < Kimberlly> oh cool wix - you got one!
[16:57] < Wix> Yea, A bit more than I wanted to spend, but a good laptop
[16:57] < Wix> I really shouldn't need a laptop, though.  I've got one... and she's purring very loudly :)
[16:57] < Jason-Plato> baby-watching in a java chatroom is geek-mode anyway
[16:58] < MadMax> too bad its not a faster modem, but sounds cool enough ...
[16:58] < Wix> This kiity just seeks a warm laptop.  You're not safe sitting down because she *will* find you and she *will* lay down on your lap
[16:58] < Wix> Heh, Mad, I'm communicating on a 14.4k modem right now.  Anything faster would be just peachy :)  Besides, it's for business
[16:58] < Markus_Fromherz> Amy, Kim, I'm leaving the office. I'll reconnect at home with Heike. Amy, keep dilating ...
[16:58] < MadMax> of course, you do have a point there, plato ...
[16:59] < Kimberlly> contractions are starting to get more uncomfortable she just said ...
[16:59] < Kimberlly> thanks markus!

[17:12] < Jason-Plato> Wow!
[17:12] < Wix> The music leader says that the congregation likes to hear these different versions... they don't like the same old same old all the time
[17:12] < Jason-Plato> :-)
[17:12] < Kimberlly> now she's actually getting up, I think - pee break!
[17:13] < Wix> See if it were a guy in the hospital, they'd have him catheter-ized.
[17:13] < Kimberlly> if she gets an epidural for real, they'll do that ...
[17:13] < Kimberlly> but right now, she can still get up and do it herself :)
[17:14] * Jason-Plato 's friend is starting recording on a CD that will have 3 of Jason's songs

[17:31] < Heike> Can't she still have ice chips? I developped a fever after some hours of labor with Lara because I became dehydrated.
[17:31] < Kimberlly> hey lib!
[17:31] < MadMax> hey JPH! (erg ... this java applet is buggy ... doesn't accept my returns half the time)
[17:31] < Kimberlly> hiya christine!
[17:31] < Kimberlly> heike - no, they nixed the ice chips a few hours ago :P
[17:31] < Kimberlly> they have her on IV fluids, so she won't get dehydrated ...
[17:32] * MadMax slaps his forehead ... my Latin class has really gotten to me ... I read IV as 'four' for a second ... doh!
[17:33] < AMYviaKim> anaesthesiologist is here  :)
[17:33] < MadMax> getting the epi now?
[17:33] < AMYviaKim> they're discussing it
[17:34] < Kimberlly> looks like a strong contraction right now - she's concentrating pretty hard right now
[17:35] < Sherri> How far dilated is she?  Have they checked her?
[17:35] *** MountainKitten has quit IRC (Connection reset by peer)
[17:35] < Kimberlly> they checked about an hour ago or so - still 4-5 cm, but he moved down to +1 station ...
[17:35] < Kimberlly> but I'm betting she's progressed since then, personally
[17:36] < Sherri> I'll bet she has.  how frequent are the contractions?
[17:37] *** Jack_Pumpkin_Head has quit IRC (QUIT: User exited)
[17:37] < MadMax> kim, you should ask her if she wants to try the centrifugal force birth thingy ... ;)
[17:38] < Kimberlly> mad - we laughed about it earlier - but I don't think she wants to  < g>
[17:39] < Kimberlly> about every 3 minutes sherri
[17:39] < Sherri> I'd say she's probably progressed alot
[17:41] < Kimberlly> they're going to give her some oxygen while they give her the epi ... she's doing darth vader impressions < g>
[17:41] < Kimberlly> they're giving her the epi meds now

[17:59] < Sherri> I like those!!
[17:59] < Sherri> That's a perfect epi
[18:00] < Kimberlly> it's still kinda working its way in - so hopefully that's about what it'll stay at  :)
[18:00] < Sherri> I hope so!  I've had good and bad and the best ones are where you can still feel the contractions but they don't hurt
[18:01] < Kimberlly> finally they got the monitors on both babies for a bit anyway ...
[18:02] < Sherri> Until she moves again. LOL
[18:02] < Kimberlly> yup ...

[20:56] < Ines> well, we have just finished a kidney transplant, OB  looks good and I am hoping for a quiet night!
[20:56] < AMYviaKim> you're on call?

[20:59] < Kimberlly> ahh - welcome!
[21:00] < Kimberlly> she just had two back to back, strong contractions ...
[21:00] < Kimberlly> but she's still feeling pretty good!
[21:00] < Ines> what's running in the epidural?
[21:00] < MVD> must be the pit working
[21:01] < Kimberlly> charles: "bupivacaine, and fentanyl ... not sure how much ..."
[21:01] < AMYviaKim> is good stuff!
[21:01] < Ines> sounds good
[21:01] < Kimberlly> yup - pit is being upped regularly...
[21:01] < AMYviaKim> it's running at 10ccs an hour
[21:02] < Kimberlly> it's .25 of the bup. but it might be further diluted with saline - not sure
[21:02] < Ines> you can have your epidural upped as well - just as long as you can feel enough of the contractions to push when it is time
[21:02] < Kimberlly> charles wants me to say that amy's feeling pretty comfortable :)
[21:02] < Ines> .25 bup with 5-10mcg Fentanyl, likely
[21:02] < Ines> great

[21:13] < Kimberlly> hey kat!!!
[21:13] < Terri> uh oh.. not good
[21:13] < MountainKitten> hey there Kat
[21:13] < MountainKitten> that was April 1st
[21:13] < Terri> we get our wrecked car back tomorrow. it is finally fixed
[21:13] < Kat> Hello.  I kept trying and trying-- finally I got in!  Geesh
[21:13] < Kimberlly> still 7cm, but 100% effaced - they upped the pitocin level, and the contractions are stronger now  :)
[21:14] < Kimberlly> yay for finally getting in!
[21:14] < Kat> oh goodie-- I didn't miss it
[21:14] < Kimberlly> nope - not at all!
[21:14] < Terri> Hi ya Kat
[21:14] < Kat> When was the last check?
[21:14] < Kat> Hi Terri
[21:14] < Kimberlly> about ... half hour ago, maybe?
[21:14] < Kat> well, tell them to check her again < G>-- I went from 5 CM to 10 CM in 45 minutes
[21:15] < MountainKitten> I was at 7 cm for 8 hours with my first :)
[21:15] < Kat> yuck
[21:15] < MountainKitten> this is staritng to look like a loopy room :)
[21:15] < Kimberlly> a little bit kathryn, yeah    :)
[21:15] < Kat> hey, that's a good thing
[21:15] < Kimberlly> kat - her waters were broken, so they aren't checking too frequently ...
[21:16] < Kat> ahhhh, I remember that too.  Good thing I insisted or Rob woulda hadta catch too. . . uhhh, not that he helped the labor along or anything. < EG>
[21:16] *** hallie (birth@***.tnt3.sfo1.da.uu.net) has joined #TwinBirth
[21:16] < Kat> how's the mom to be doing
[21:16] < Kimberlly> she's doing great!
[21:16] < AMYviaKim> hi mom!
[21:16] < Kat> that's good to hear
[21:17] < Kimberlly> lol kat - I remember how he helped - what a guy!  < G>
[21:17] < Kimberlly> we're watching "Big" right now ... she and Charles have never seen it!
[21:17] < Kat> Yeah, gotta love a man that will do ANYTHING to get a baby on his birthday < wink>
[21:17] < Kimberlly> lol - I forgot it was his bday!
[21:17] < Kat> is that with Tom Hanks?
[21:17] < hallie> We're back on for a few minutes.  Elizabeth is here with us till we here from you.  What's the status.
[21:18] < Kimberlly> they checked about 1/2 hour ago - still 7cm ...
[21:18] < Kimberlly> they upped the pitocin and the contractions are stronger now ...
[21:18] < Kimberlly> but she's still pretty comfortable
[21:18] < Kimberlly> we just looked at the tape - the contractions are much larger now  :)
[21:18] < Kat> yay-- won't be long now
[21:18] < hallie> go right to birth.  do not pass go.  we'll give you the 200 dollars anyway.
[21:19] < Kimberlly> she might get a boost on the epidural she's thinking ...
[21:19] < hallie> We thought that the epidural is a pain reliever...
[21:19] < hallie> does it also help with the labor?
[21:19] < Kat> no- just a pain reliever
[21:19] < Kimberlly> no - the epi is to help with the pain ...
[21:20] < Kat> does she feel any pressure Kim?
[21:20] < Kimberlly> but this is NOTHING like her first birth - she's totally alert and feeling pretty good!
[21:20] < hallie> This is Lib this is amazing that she's doing so well
[21:20] < hallie> All I remeber is her passed out last time
[21:20] < Kimberlly> yep - really amazing - and very cool!
[21:20] < hallie> This is still Lib, I can't believe you're watching movies
[21:21] < hallie> Pretty cool deal if you can get it
[21:21] < Kimberlly> lol - yup - watching movies and joking around ...
[21:21] < hallie> Are you enjoying muti-tasking?
[21:21] < Kimberlly> they won't let her eat or drink, which is a bummer, but she's still in good spirits :)
[21:21] < Kimberlly> of course - always!
[21:21] < hallie> Did they say anything about recreational drugs?
[21:22] < Kimberlly> I don't think anyone asked < G>
[21:22] < hallie> Oh, well, tell Amy it doesn't matter if she doesn't make it before midnight, she's got 8 days of Channukah celebration to land this birth on
[21:23] < hallie> They weren't Turkey's...they didn't go for Thanksgiving
[21:23] < hallie> ha ha
[21:23] < hallie> "They" being the twins...never mind
[21:24] * Kimberlly grins
[21:24] < Kimberlly> they didn't go for my dad's birthday either - the 29th
[21:24] < hallie> So anyway, just some weird family history...Jessica was supposed to be born on one holiday (Halloween) and landed on another (Veteran's Day)
[21:24] < Kimberlly> I love "Big" ... this movie is so great!
[21:24] < hallie> My parents are going to log off but they want you to page when things get exciting
[21:25] < hallie> Is that cool?
[21:25] < Kimberlly> okay - we'll try to remember to do that  :)
[21:26] < Kimberlly> we'll possibly be able to update from the OR - there's a phone line there!
[21:26] < hallie> VERY cool
[21:26] < Kimberlly> yeah!  I'm hopeful!
[21:26] < hallie> My dad wants to know when you will go into the OR?
[21:26] < hallie> OR do we take bets on that too?
[21:26] * MadMax groans ...
[21:27] < Kimberlly> madmax was BAD at that last time  < g>
[21:27] < Kimberlly> we'll go in when she's at 10cm ...

[21:54] < MountainKitten> made one for Thanksgiving
[21:54] < MountainKitten> John said I had to make anothr for Christmas
[21:54] < MountainKitten> it was my first blackberry pie ever
[21:55] < Terri> mmm... sounds delish
[21:56] < Christine> Hello, I'm back. What does 100% effaced mean?
[21:56] < Kimberlly> and I'm back  :)
[21:56] < littledeer> the cervix is flat, it starts as a cone
[21:56] < Kimberlly> effacement is the thinning of the cervix ...
[21:57] < Kimberlly> if you think of a turtleneck sweater, with the neck straight out, and then as you put your head through it, it spreads out over your head - when it's flat, that's like 100% effaced (kind of)
[21:57] < Kimberlly> hey little deer!
[21:57] < littledeer> hi
[21:57] < Kimberlly> I'm so glad to see so many of my friends here to support my other friend!
[21:57] < littledeer> is the topic info correct at the top then??
[21:57] < Kimberlly> pretty much - I should change it again though ...
[21:58] < Christine> While I was out, I went to go see "The World Is Not Enough." Tell Amy the bad guys use the same walkie talkies as we did.
[21:58] < littledeer> I had checked my mail, and still no news so I came to see for meself!!
[21:58] *** Kimberlly changes topic to 'as of about 9pm Amy is 7cm and 100% effaced - pitocin has been turned up some, and she's gotten a booster on the epidural and is feeling comfortable. Contractions are stronger now and we're watching videos.'
[21:59] < AMYviaKim> I saw it - I noticed the walkie talkies  :)
[21:59] < Kimberlly> glad you did little deer - hasn't been much to add - although  maybe I'll go do another update ...
[21:59] < littledeer> I amsure you have better things to do :)
[22:00] < littledeer> I am just nosy I guess :) < not to mention impatient>
[22:00] < littledeer> lol

[22:33] < Hallie> Not exactly.  I grabbed.  Amy and Seth ran out to the street, and our dog growled under the bed.  Family affair.
[22:33] *** Kimberlly changes topic to 'As of 10:15pm Amy is 8cm, and waiting ... she's 100%effaced, and enjoying the epidural, and watching "Big" with Charles, Kimberly and Kathy'

[22:40] < Kimberlly> and we've sent them all email with the urls, etc...  :)
[22:40] < elenadriskill> So, about part of the delivery being in the OR, is that just a precaution or is one of the babies going to be a C-section?

[23:25] < Kat> did you read my mail- I did one of the pics with her quilt
[23:25] < MountainKitten> and I'd get to see them quicker :)

[00:38] < JasonPlato> I don't understand the "Just Say No to Drugs" campaign. When you're at the point where you're talking to your drugs, it's a little too late
[00:38] * Markus smiles.
[00:40] < jennet> On Mars - but have both sides of the Atlantic agreed on the units of measurement
[00:43] < Markus> Which sides? NASA and Europe are easy - they're both on the metric system.
[00:45] < Markus> Well, it look like it'll take a while with Amy, so I'll go to sleep and check back in the morning.
[00:46] < jennet> I'm from from Oxford, UK and a friend of mine was part of the team that had a problem with a space project 'cause one side was using metric and the used imperial!

[01:49] < MountainKitten> friend of Kim's
[01:49] < napping-Kimberly> Amy is doing well, but definitely feeling the strength of her contractions now.  
[01:50] < napping-Kimberly> The last check on dilation was about half an hour ago, and she seems to have stabilized at 8-9 cem
[01:51] < napping-Kimberly> She's getting a little frustrated, but the anesthesiologist gave her a little something extra, so it's getting better.
[01:51] < Terri> ok.. well I have to go to bed.. I am pooped... I will get on in a bit
[01:51] < napping-Kimberly> The strength of the contractions is still not enough for delivery to occur, though...
[01:52] < napping-Kimberly> Goodnight..
[01:52] < Terri> ok.. I cant wait to hear that they are here
[01:52] < Terri> talk to you soon.. Hugs,

[02:04] < mateo> I can't seem to go any further than when I joined.
[02:04] < kathymac> Huh! That's odd. It shouldn't work that way
[02:04] < mateo> why don't you give me an update?
[02:04] < MountainKitten> he wont' be able to see anything besides after he's joined
[02:04] < kathymac> Okay, quicky update..
[02:05] < kathymac> Amy is resting peacefully now.  The anesthesiologist slipped her a little extra something, so the pain of the stronger contractions is not felt with quite so much vibrance...
[02:05] < mateo> bueno
[02:06] < kathymac> At this time, we don't know when the babies will come, and I have given up making predictions. I always seem to be wrong.
[02:06] < mateo> this is true:)
[02:06] < kathymac> hey1
[02:07] < kathymac> Everyone's asleep over here. (especially me) 
[02:07] < mateo> I don't doubt it
[02:07] < kathymac> Charlie's awake though. He's being a back-seat typist.
[02:07] < kathymac> < sigh>
[02:07] < mateo> well, finally some interesting conversation.
[02:07] < MountainKitten> what brother's are for
[02:07] < MountainKitten> shoo brother :)
[02:07] < kathymac> Thank you MOuntainKitten
[02:08] < kathymac> He hasn't shooed yet, thogh
[02:08] < mateo> I made three bucks
[02:08] < kathymac> In poker?
[02:08] < mateo> yup
[02:08] < MountainKitten> he should be resting, cause in a couple of hours, he won't be getting any rest at all for weeks
[02:08] < kathymac> Congratulations. You can start up Liam and Zafina's college fund
[02:08] < mateo> it counter-balances the fact that three hours of homework brings me one problem closer to completion
[02:09] < kathymac> Shhh... we're only allowed to talk about baby stuff in this chat room
[02:09] < kathymac> no math
[02:09] < mateo> The pictures are cool
[02:09] < mateo> I think you just want to avoid math.
[02:10] < mateo> I like the one with you pointing at Amy's belly.
[02:10] < kathymac> It's completely incredible to me that Amy is able to snooze through this extremely advanced stage of labor.
[02:10] < kathymac> I thought you might like that one.
[02:10] < kathymac> I also think the one of her wearing the oxygen mask is cute.
[02:10] < MountainKitten> I remember dozing thru my last one off and on
[02:10] < mateo> hey, more power to her
[02:10] < MountainKitten> and I didn't have drugs to help
[02:11] < kathymac> That's amazing, MK
[02:11] < mateo> So, do I know you MountainKitten?
[02:11] < kathymac> How did you do that?
[02:11] < MountainKitten> prolly not
[02:11] < MountainKitten> extreme exhaustion
[02:11] < kathymac> MK is a friend of a friend of Amy's
[02:11] < Jessicat> Hello again, all.
[02:11] < kathymac> Mateo is my fiance
[02:11] < kathymac> Jessicat is Amy's sister
[02:12] < MountainKitten> I had a nasty habit (all 3 times) of going into labor in the middle of the night
[02:12] < kathymac> I'm Amy's sister in law.
[02:12] < Jessicat> I see I have entered smack in the middle of introductions
[02:12] < MountainKitten> last time went into labor at 1 am, and delivered at 10 minutes to 5
[02:12] < kathymac> Amy appears to be following your lead here.
[02:12] < kathymac> Well, Amy started at 7 this morning, and we're still going...
[02:12] < Jessicat> pobrecita!
[02:12] < kathymac> Hello Jo.

[02:13] < Jessicat> Any estimations yet?
[02:13] < kathymac> Amy's doing fine. Snoring away.
[02:14] < Jessicat> great, she'll need her energy later...
[02:14] < kathymac> My last 20 estimations were incredibly wrong.
[02:14] < kathymac> She'll deliver next week for all we know.
[02:14] < mateo> We estimate that there will be two new babies.
[02:14] < Jessicat> so any way I can enter into the pool? ; )
[02:14] < kathymac> Hey, I think Matt has 3 bucks he can bet in a pool...
[02:14] < kathymac> I vote for 4am
[02:14] < Jessicat> hi to Matt from me and Colin
[02:15] < kathymac> Is Colin there!

[02:17] < MountainKitten> lovely
[02:18] < kathymac> Well, I'll see if Amy thinks it's lovely.
[02:18] < mateo> I think I'm going to sleep now...
[02:18] < mateo> good night
[02:18] < kathymac> Goodnight, sweet.
[02:18] < MountainKitten> don't envy her
[02:18] < MountainKitten> been thru induction once
[02:18] < MountainKitten> and spent 15 hours with it, no drugs
[02:18] < kathymac> How were you induced with no drugs?
[02:19] < MountainKitten> and wound up going home, and coming back 2 weeks later to deliver
[02:19] *** mateo has quit IRC (QUIT: User exited)
[02:19] < MountainKitten> meaning, no pain drugs
[02:19] < kathymac> Ahhhh
[02:19] < kathymac> Forgive me, it's been a long day
[02:19] < MountainKitten> its okay, wasn't very clear
[02:19] < MountainKitten> and I do understand
[02:20] < McMom> Hi Kathy... any updates?
[02:20] < kathymac> This is very exciting, even though nothing is happening right now (per se)
[02:21] < kathymac> I'm really looking forward to the delivery. I know that we all are.
[02:21] < McMom> have the docs been in recently to check on Amy
[02:21] < MountainKitten> its totaly convinced me to have Kim at my birth next time
[02:21] < kathymac> HI MOM!
[02:21] < kathymac> Oh, she's great. She's very cozy on her cot right now, too.
[02:21] < kathymac> The doctors came in about an hour ago.
[02:22] < kathymac> Amy's still not dilated quite far enough (only 8-9 cm)
[02:22] < kathymac> Cervix is thin, though. And Liam is definitely ready to go. The contractions just aren't strong enough yet
[02:23] < kathymac> They've been upping her pitocin for quite awhile now. She's at the max dosage now
[02:23] < kathymac> Mom, what are you doing up so late?
[02:23] < McMom> Well... just waiting....
[02:23] < kathymac> It'll be awhile yet.
[02:24] < kathymac> Amy's still snoozin' away
[02:24] < kathymac> This is NOT what I saw on ER last week
[02:24] < kathymac> I guess that's a good thing, though
[02:24] < MountainKitten> laugh
[02:24] < MountainKitten> yeah, it is a good thing
[02:24] < MountainKitten> sounds pretty normal to me, espeically for an epi labor
[02:24] *** jennet (birth@***.public.ox.ac.uk) has joined #TwinBirth
[02:24] < kathymac> epi labor?
[02:25] < kathymac> forgive my ignorance
[02:25] < McMom> epidural = epi
[02:25] < kathymac> Hello jennet!
[02:25] < kathymac> ahhhh
[02:25] < MountainKitten> epidural
[02:26] < jennet> hello Kathy and all
[02:26] < kathymac> Every doctor or nurse that comes in says that the babies are "beautiful"
[02:26] < MountainKitten> I know they are
[02:27] < jennet> Are you saying that the twins are born?
[02:27] < kathymac> NoNONONON
[02:27] < kathymac> Their heartbeats are beautiful
[02:27] < kathymac> galloping, if you will
[02:28] < kathymac> We are definitely ready for the twins to be born, at this point. Especially Amy
[02:28] < MountainKitten> she must be definitely exhausted
[02:28] < kathymac> quite
[02:29] < jennet> I can imagine! Poor Amy. I was expecting them to born when I woke up this morning in the UK.
[02:29] < kathymac> All these naps are doing her well, though
[02:29] < kathymac> Nope, not yet.
[02:29] < kathymac> It's been a long day, and the contractions just aren't as strong as we might have expected
[02:30] < kathymac> She hasn't eaten since 7am this morning, either. I don't think THAT's helping in the least bit
[02:30] < MountainKitten> more than likely not
[02:30] < MountainKitten> she'll be weak from lack of food if nothing else
[02:30] < kathymac> scratch that, 7am YESTERDAY morning
[02:32] < McMom> Kathy... I think I'm going to take a nap for a while... talk to you in a bit

[02:32] < kathymac> hello richard
[02:33] < richard> hi, hows it been going?
[02:33] < kathymac> Slowly... still waiting for babies to make their grand entrance
[02:33] < kathymac> Amy's asleep right now.
[02:34] < richard> I guess not much us gonna go on if she is asleep
[02:34] < kathymac> :) No probably not. Although she is contracting away
[02:34] < MountainKitten> they'll likely let her continue to sleep, as long as the twins are doing fun
[02:34] < MountainKitten> fine that is
[02:35] < kathymac> Like I said, they're just "beautiful"
[02:35] *** jennet has quit IRC (Connection reset by peer)
[02:35] < kathymac> Stop the presses!
[02:35] < richard> I thought they would have hattched by now!
[02:36] < kathymac> The doctors came in again
[02:36] < MountainKitten> cool
[02:36] < kathymac> We're doing another dilation check
[02:36] < kathymac> drumroll please
[02:36] < kathymac> There have been about 5 really strong contractions in a row, so hopes are high
[02:36] < MountainKitten> drumdrumdrumdrumdrumdrumdrumdrum
[02:37] < richard> did he fall in?
[02:37] < kathymac> 9 CM! We have (
[02:37] < kathymac> LOL
[02:37] < MountainKitten> but with the strong contractions, it wont' be long
[02:38] < kathymac> Are you richard, as in Kim's richard?
[02:38] < kathymac> If so, she'd like to know what you're doing up...
[02:38] < kathymac> :)
[02:38] < richard> yes, it is true
[02:38] < MountainKitten> nice to meet you Richard
[02:38] < richard> where is Kim?
[02:38] < MountainKitten> I'm Kathryn

[02:39] < richard> oh, oh, I've heard about you :)
[02:39] < kathymac> The doctors are now checking how much dilation we get with a contraction
[02:40] < MountainKitten> so which one of us would that be that you'v heard about richard?
[02:40] < kathymac> Sounds pretty good, but the doctor is mumbling...
[02:40] < kathymac> Cervix is almost completely dilated
[02:40] < MountainKitten> cool
[02:40] < MountainKitten> definitely won't be long
[02:40] < richard> I can't say
[02:41] < kathymac> sorry for the delay. I'm waiting for more news
[02:42] < MountainKitten> its fine
