So April called the hospital this morning at 6:30 am, just like we were supposed to. They said to call back at ten of. Instead, they called her back and said they didn’t have any beds, so they were going to push her induction until tomorrow. Needless to say, we are both upset about this. We have been preparing mentally for this, as well as physically with the house and all. We also have taken Ashlea out to april’s parents to be watched (we did that last night). Also, Chris was very distracted yesterday at work and both of us didn’t get a very good nights sleep. So, even if he tries to work today, so as not to lose a day of vacation, it won’t be a very strong day. And the whole fricken reason we scheduled it today is b/c aprils dr, whom we like very much, is there. That is a huge reason we did this. ARRRRGGG
Anyway, we digress. . .

Coming in, ready or not?

Since about 4:30 am, April has been up having, what we think, are contractions. At first, she thought they were not regular, but for the last hour, she has been timing them and they seem to be, somewhat consistently, 6 minutes apart and between 30 seconds to a minute long. So, they may get us whether they like it or not. But then again, who knows how long contractions like these will last.

Not another Fffff. . . ricken test!!

The hospital said that the Dr. on call wants april to come in for ANOTHER non-stress test. Wanna know what we have to say to that. . .
Ahhhh, never mind, it wouldn’t be “family friendly”. So, you can feel our frustration. April really does NOT want to go in for another stress test, spend her afternoon sitting in a hospital room, getting pricked in poked in many areas she would prefer not to, only to find out “There sending you home, everythings fine!!” (to be read in a high pitched overly cheery, nurse voice). Yup, we are both frustrated, and trying not to be brats. We know it isn’t a big deal if this doesn’t happen today, its just that when you prepare for, pretty much, the biggest and most significant event of your life to happen at a certain time, you don’t want to be told “we are gonna push you til tomorrow” (same voice as before). Anyway, no advice please, we know many of you have things to say, but just keep us in your prayers.

Thanks for listening.
