Due Date (10/21/13)

The due date came and the little one was still an inside baby. I always thought the second baby would be a few weeks or at least one week born before the due date. But babies have plans of their own.




I finished work on 10/15. The day before I planned to work from home. I dressed miss A and drove her to daycare only to find out it was closed :) I had to change my plans to make sure I could take care of miss A and finish my work related tasks. I worked half of the day while miss A colored, danced, watched TV, and tried to stay quite. The rest of the day we had fun and enjoyed being outside.




On my actual due date Mr. V and I went to my last doctor's appointment. I remember my doctor said "Ah, you've brought reinforcement. Time to make the plan". She still thought the baby was pretty big and that I had too much fluid. She mentioned that it would be a good idea to move on to inducement sooner rather than wait till the baby would make the appearance on her own. We talked about the possible dates and it was up to us to decide the date of the inducement.


Mr. V and I stepped out of the hospital and he kept telling me how we should do the inducement in the next few days. For some reason, I wanted to wait until she would come out on her own. I was all for waiting and going into labor naturally.




We agreed to at least call the hospital and get on the waiting list for the inducement. What do you know, the next day (Tuesday) I drove miss A to her school and was waiting for here there when Mr. V called and said we got a call from the hospital. He told me to hurry back home because the hospital could admit us that evening. I thought he was joking. It took me about 10 minutes to realize it was the truth. Miss A and I drove home and my parents were already there. I finished packing my bag, took a shower, kissed Miss A, and off we went.
