The Waiting is the hardest part…

Thursday, May 14th, 2009

Neither of us slept well. Wake up, straighten up the house, pack the bag in the car, gather all the electronic devices, and call the Hospital @ 0730. Rooms are full. Call back later.So, we wait. They called us back. Be there @ 1030. It seems so far off. But, Hey!, at least there is a slot and we aren’t being told “Come in on Monday…”

Baby Update – Summary and Current

Thursday, May 14th, 2009

May 10 was the due date… I love deadlines, especially the whooshing noise they make as they fly by…The Host was not pleased. She is at that frustrated point of “GET OUT!” Miserable because she can’t get comfortable, miserable because she made the deadline but no relief, just miserable.So, Tuesday she went to the OB. They did a stress test because the baby hadn’t been moving as much as we are used to. Baby and Mommy fine. Doc said that if there weren’t any advancement by then, they’d induce on Thursday @ 0800.We call the Hospital, as instructed, to verify that they have the room for another. Hospital said they had no birthing rooms open at that time, call back in 2 hours.So, we sit here, waiting. More updates as we have them.
