Hospital 33+5 Continued

Last night when they hooked me up for my evening monitoring at about 5:20, I thought that was great because I would be done by the time Daryl and Sharon brought dinner.  Well that was not the case.  Ali was acting up last night she had several drops in her heart rate in the first hour.  She had a major one when I had a contraction so the nurse wanted to contact Dr. Tabb to have him look at it.  He was in a C-section so that took some time.   At some point, Kyle started pacing outside the door with my room door open.  He could over hear the nurse talking to someone about me.  He heard her say, Baby C was fine and that they had already tried to start an IV on me.  Well she saw Kyle eavesdropping so when she came back in the room she asked if she could close our door. 
Daryl and Sharon decided to leave around 7:30 since Daryl had to work on Sunday.  I was still hooked to the monitor at that point and hadn't had anything to eat since about 1pm.  As time passed Kyle became more frustrated that they weren't telling us anything and I hadn't eaten.  Of course I had my mother on standby, she was awaiting word that we were going to have babies.  Around 8:15 they came in to tell us they were going to move rooms and they were still trying to get Dr. Tabb on the phone.  What they failed to tell us was they had already talked to him once.  He requested that I stay on the monitor longer.  It would have been really nice if someone had told me that. 
I was finally unhooked from the monitor at about 9.  We moved rooms shortly after.  The decision to move rooms was made because they only have two that have the capability to run 4 babies on the electronic monitors so that the nurses and doctors can see all babies from any location.  Previously Ray was on a manual paper print out so the nurses would have to communicate to the drs how he was doing.  Our new room is a little larger too which is nice.
Kyle tried to heat my food up once we were settled around 9:45 but the cafeteria was closed.  No worries, awesome nurse Susan to the rescue!  She heated up my food, found silverware and got us some beverages.  I'm sure tumbleweed would have been  better fresh but at that point I didn't really care.  It did give me heartburn during the night but oh well.
