T+8 days, a birthday and an end in sight.

10 Jul

First of all, let me open up with a big Happy Birthday to my friend and best man at our wedding, Bob Rivers.  (Almost got you all there with the birthday notification.. didn’t I?)

Jeanette and I have a scheduled induction for Monday morning, meaning that barring spontaneous labor over the next several days, we’ll be incommunicado on Monday until we have news. I think that the disappointment of not having gone into labor naturally (so far) is being offset quite nicely by having a definite end date to the pregnancy and a beginning to parenthood, not to mention some time off work.  With that, I’ll be stopping the whole “Babywatch Countdown” and simply putting a post up on Monday when we have something to report.

I want to thank everyone who has been so supportive throught the pregnancy, you’ve all given us a lot of emotional support which we most definitely appreciate!

Where was I? Oh yeah.. T+7 days.

09 Jul

We’ve got our doctors appointment today and were given the suggestion to pack a bag and bring it along, just in case. Hopefully there will be news of forward progress, if only to assuage any fears that we’re stuck in some kind of baby limbo. Basically, I think Jeanette really wants to avoid induction because of how much more painful/complicated it can be than naturally occurring labor.

I’m of the thought that the kid will come when ready, I guess it didn’t get the note that it’s running a tad late.. Then again it can’t read. Then again, it has no concept of time. I’m starting to see how it’s easy for a kid to miss a due date..

T+6 days… I think Jeanette is getting tired of hearing “Why haven’t you given birth yet!”

More to follow soon.. Needless to say, we’re still here and waiting. I’ve got it in good authority that the kid can’t stay in there beyond 18 years of age, we can legally kick them out at that point..
