We were admitted to the hospital on Saturday, the 18th since my blood pressure was high. The doctor started a magnesium drip to depress my nervous system (due to the high blood pressure) and pitocin to induce labor. Unfortunately those two drugs kind of counteract each other. One is to relax your muscles and the other is to make the uterus contract. Kate was not in any hurry to make her way into this world and after about 30 hours of labor and very little progress - we decided to complete the c-section and meet our baby girl!! 
We had originally planned to deliver at St. Vincent Women's hospital, but due to the timing - we ended up at St. Vincent Carmel since our OB was on call there that weekend. We absolutely loved our stay there. What a wonderful experience - the staff there is amazing. We couldn't have asked for a better stay!
