Baby Day is Here!

We’re very excited. After nine months of waiting, boy number 2 is coming today. We’re inducing (thankfully) because we live 45 minutes from the hospital. We had to show up at the hospital at 5:30am (there’s a 5:30 in the morning too?!), which means we had to leave the house at 4:30.

I had planned to have everything done and ready so we could get 7 hours of sleep last night and just have to get up, get dressed and leave this morning. Ah, the best laid plans of mice and men…. We had visitors in from out of town (2 sets!) and spent the whole day visiting with them. So we got home late and still ahd things to finish before bed. Finally fell into bed around 11:15. What I didn’t know was that during my short 4 hours of sleep, trouble was brewing for my wife. She’d been asleep about an hour when her dinner revolted. We had eaten out for convenience and now the spinach dip wasn’t agreeing with Vicki. She spent the rest of the night being sick. Ugh!

Added bonus, as we fought exhaustion and got ready to leave, we realized it was cold and rainy outside. Woo hoo! After slip-sliding in to the hospital, we’re finally ready to go. The rest of it is pretty much out of my hands.Oh, well, it’s all an adventure.

I know one thing, we can’t wait to get to meet Austin!
