Killin time waitin for baby!

Soooo i'm sittin in the hospital now! This morning was our scheduled weekly appointment and the doctor was a little concerned because I mentioned that Monday I really hadn't felt much movement from my usually very active little boy. She was in a rush because another patient was ready to push at the hospital so she told me I should head over to another office for monitoring. I believe the test was called an LST. They set me up on a baby fetal monitor and told me to push a button every time I felt the baby move. Well in the first 20 min. he only moved maybe two times so in order to kick that into gear they gave me some apple juice. After drinking the juice there still wasn't much change so she said she would like to have the doctor check my results. About a minute later she came back in the room and said they weren't thrilled with the babys response so I needed to head to the hospital. Of course I semi panicked! I called Doug who I thought was going to have a heart attack and told him he needed to meet me at the hospital. It was a tense drive over because I didn't have much information about what was really going on.
As soon as I got to the hospital they put me back on the monitoring and there really wasn't any change...he still wasn't moving or responding to any of the little vibrating noise makers they were putting on my belly. They called my doctor and she said ok admit her we'll enduce! Obviously me and Doug were standing in the room like WHAT!!!! Did she just say what I think she said!?! She even went as far as saying "Hey girl looks like you're having your baby today or tomorrow!" Wow...a bit of a shock. Well suddenly that spike in my emotion caused our little man to wake up and move all around squirmin like a worm! So of course they then thought well maybe all is well and maybe you won't have the baby today! OMG!? We were like please don't toy with our emotions this is nutty enough!! Our doctor was then called in so she could check herself and after a 20 minute ultrasound she said yeah he's not responding the way I want him to so let's go ahead and enduce you...Ahhh how nice to have a definite answer...the one we had been waiting for all day! After that I was able to calm waaayyy down but then it hits me...WE'RE HAVING A BABY!
So now here I sit killin some time just waitin on this cervadil to run it's course! They tell me it'll take up to 12 hours so who knows when all will progress but hey i'm down for anything at this point...bring on the pain!
