Well it’s nearly 3:30am and I”m at the computer after laying in bed timing contractions for the last hour... yes, we were on our way to the hospital because the doctor felt I was far enough along he might as well induce me while he was there to do it so I didn’t have to wait out the weekend (in case you want the details I was dilated just past a 3 and 75% effaced). But right as Marnie arrived and we were ready to leave he called and said that things had suddenly exploded at the hospital and there weren’t any empty beds now... so unless I was actually in labor there wouldn’t be room for me. He felt really bad because things had been so open just two hours earlier but there was nothing he could do. He did say we could call at 4:00am when Tom gets ready to go to work because maybe I could just come in then. So anyway, we went to bedding just hoping my contractions would get more regular so they would be forced to take me and I woke up at about 2:00 and they have been about every 7 minutes since then. I stayed in bed for the first hour but then I got too hungry and bored... so here I am eating a pop tart and writing to all of you. If things keep going this well I can hopefully call at 4:00 and he’ll say to come on in. But fingers crossed, worst case scenario the contractions will die down and I will go back to sleep but they will pick up later and they will still have to take me sometime today!
Hayden is so excited and just keeps talking about how he can’t wait to meet his new baby sister! He kept hugging Danica and trying to get her excited and kept telling her she was going to get a friend soon! Danica on the other will be much, much, less than thrilled at this new arrival as she is still my baby and doesn’t like it when even Hayden is sitting on my lap...I know I’m in trouble with her! I got a new swing for this baby and when I had it out to clean and get ready she loved sitting in it (and still fit and meets the weight requirement of course!!) I hid the swing in my closet because I can only imagine how happy she’ll be when she understands it’s not for her... good thing she is so adorable!
Okay, of course we will keep you all posted! Thanks for listening to my early morning ramblings...
