Saturday is a good day for
an induction. My fluid started dropping again - not so much that it's danger zone, but getting close. Instead of monitoring me every two days for the next week and then inducing me on my due date, we're just going to do it a week early. Somehow I feel entirely unprepared for this. I knew I was going to be induced within the next week, but I didn't even think about the possibility of getting scheduled for one when I went in today. Holy crap. I'm excited and nervous.
Also...is it wrong that I'm already thinking about what sorts of carb-filled things people can bring to me in the hospital after she's born?
Re: Saturday is a good day for
Saturday sounds like a good day to birth a baby girl.
If I were you I would have a list prepared of all the things you want to eat in the hospital that you have been denied. Lots of cake!
Eep! Ya gotta do what's best right?
If I were a west coaster I would be stocking up on all kinds of sugar-y bread-y goodness to bring you.

BABYBABYBABY!!!!!!!
I'm sorry I am not excited about your baby.
I bet her FUPA's name is Shane, like the gunslinger/drifter of literature.--HappyTummy
were you induced for Will? I can't remember.
Anyway, I know a lot of people say negative things, but I loved my induction. In fact, they just gave me the cytotec and I never needed the pitocin. My body just kicked in.
Yay for outside baby Evie!
I'll have Lorne send an email.
I was induced with Will. I didn't have pitocin either, they gave me cervadil to ripen my cervix and it just sort of kicked me into labor. I'm hoping that will happen again. I had long contractions really close together for a long time, and the guy who placed my epidural kind of sucked and never got it in quite right, but pushing was a breeze and overall my birth experience last time was good, so I'm okay with this.

11/11/11 = 5 years. Woah!
Ripening a cervix sounds appalling, but the baby coming out sounds great.
And yay for carbs and wine!

Bebeh! Yay!
So..........what carby things did you come up with?!
Goooooooooo Evie! I'm so excited for you.
I would be packing some cupcakes for the hospital to shove them in my face immediately post birth. So I think you're in the clear.
The nerve!

There is a donut shop down the street from the hospital with excellent apple fritters and old fashioned donuts. Nice and crusty and covered in glaze. If she's out by Sunday morning I think I will request that for breakfast.
There's also a delicious bakery about 5 minutes away from the hospital with giant cupcakes and delicious little tarts and things. I think that will be lunch.

Yay Evie! Good luck!
Don't forget some fresh tortillas, a good bagel, some pasta, and a slice of pizza.
Mucho likes purple nails and purple cupcakes

I feel a little sad. We've had a lot of fun with just him, and while I know things will be great with Evie, part of me feels like we'll be losing a little something, if that makes any sense. But we're going to make sure tomorrow is a fun day with Mom & Dad. We're going to go to the zoo or the animal park and take him to gymboree or something.
MIL is coming tomorrow night, so after she gets here I think Lorne and I are going to go on a little date, since we probably won't do that for awhile after she's born.
It was bittersweet for me. I think being late I was so preoccupied with feeling miserable and wondering when I would go into labor that I didn't get to dwell too too much in feeling sad about changing Maggie's life. I did cry like a baby when we left for the hospital. It felt like we were closing a really great chapter. But 4 months later...it's so special to see the two of them interacting. It makes me so proud.
Enjoy your last few days of relative peace!
