7:35AM - Episode 2: A New Hope
Well it's baby day part two today and we're again waiting for a call from the General in Regina. Today is going to be different, I can feel it. Everyone woke up in good moods this morning, we managed to mostly save the house from the natural disaster that is my two sons yesterday so clean-up this morning is a breeze, and I have a fresh sense of optimism about what the day holds.
Today we've decided to take a little more active role in seeing this done. We called the hospital last night and made sure they had a cell number for Jo and this morning around 8:30 we're heading to Regina in faith that we're getting called in. If by some unfortunate stroke of circumstance we get bumped again I plan on marching into Jo's doctor's office and demanding that he do something or give us an induction order for the Estevan Hospital. This baby is coming today come hell or high water (and I live in Estevan so we've already dealt with high water this year). Anyhow, I should go and finish getting ready so we can get on the road on time. As with yesterday I'll keep this updated throughout the day with news and developments. I need to find out what's going on down the hall - Jack is running around opening all the doors wishing imaginary people a "Happy Valentine's Day". (???)
10:00AM - Still no word
Stopped in Weyburn to call the hospital. They day that there are 3 inductions ahead of Jo on the priority list and that they can only do three at a time. We're supposed to call when we leave the city to see where they are at but once again it doesn't look good. We're going to call our specialist and see if we can get in to see him today now. Please pray that there is room for us.
3:00PM - Full circle
We're heading back to Estevan after being bumped again, and told simultaneously that tomorrow looks doubtful as well. Apparently, despite the fact that Joanna's sick enough to be required to have the baby 2 hours away in Regina for some reason, she's not sick enough to have any sort of priority on the induction list!?! We are so confused by all that's going on. We're now on our way back to Estevan to see our family doctor because Jo is 10 days overdue and hasn't seen a doctor in a week now. Which isn't supposed to happen.
6:00PM - Back to waiting
So, no news on any front. We're still waiting. Who knows at this point when it will be. I'm thinking of going back to the office tomorrow to get my mind off of things and preserve some vacation days for when the baby actually shows up. Besides the disappointment of not getting induced we also had to cancel an appointment for our car today in Regina that would have seen our long awaited cruise control installed (anyone who heard my sermon last week will know how much I need that in the Fiesta) because we couldn't wait around for it to be completed before booking it back to Estevan for the next appointment. I think I'm going to can these baby watch blogs for now and just post something up when it actually happens - whenever that will be.
Sorry for stringing you all along for a second day in a row.
