Sunday 2nd to Saturday 8th January 2022
This week we welcomed Mum (Lin) Morris to Darwin.
Nanna and Madeline spent time playing and also doing cooking, their favourite activity together.
House sit in Moil
This week we moved into our house sit at Moil. We were minding a dog, Dobby and a cat, Kimchi.
Royal Darwin Hospital
So this week they introduced Rapid Antigen Testing for all people before entering the hospital. It was a major ordeal.
A plan was made for pre-induction rippening on January 6th and fully induction on January 7th.
Eva was admitted, poked and prodded and then it was a waiting game.
Jason was kicked out at 8pm as visiting hours on the maternity ward was over. At 9pm Eva had a cervical assessment and was only 1cm dilated. Was going to be a long night.
At 6am on January 7th Eva was awoken by the nurses, it was time for another assessment. Cervical assessment showed only 2cm dilated, so a plan was made to artificially rupture the membranes and start a drip to start uterine contractions.
Eva called Jason at 616 to tell him to make his way over, ādonāt rush, have some breakfast on the way.ā
The nurses ran the drip for 3 minutes at around 640am before realising that the contractions were coming on fast and thick without the need for a drip.
Jason skipped the breakfast and went to the ED to have his Rapid Antigen Test done. He was release with a negative result at 654am.
He arrived at the labour ward to find the nurses giving Eva nitrous oxide, Eva with her head in a vomit bag and Eva saying she needed to push.
At 710am on 7th January, Miss Charlotte Lynne Morris was born, turning our Three into four!
Eva stayed in hospital for 2 full days before discharge.
