Here We Go Again

by HereWeGoAJen on September 26, 2012

Okay, I am headed off to the hospital to check in for my induction in about two hours. This part is just the overnight prep stuff, so no baby until tomorrow.  Probably.

Reminders:

  1. If you call me on the phone while I am in labor, I shall disown you. Or have you assassinated, depending on my mood at the time.
  2. You may text, I reserve the right to not answer.
  3. If I do not answer, it does not mean that I am dying. Please remain calm and do not call me on the phone.
  4. I will update the internet after the baby is born with all pertinent details.  I am just taking my phone, not my computer. So I will not be able to do things like approve new commenters or twitter followers. It doesn’t mean you aren’t there, just that no one can see you until I get home again.
  5. Don’t call me on the phone, for heaven’s sake.  (Why, yes, we did get eleven calls during Elizabeth’s birth from one person, after requesting no calls. Perhaps that is why I am mentioning this again.)
  6. My hospital orders say that I can have a sleeping pill tonight and I am pretty excited about that.

Okay, I am off to do the last load of laundry and then eat something, in case I am not fed tonight.

Good luck!! Hope it’s speedy and safe!

And I told everyone that my cell didn’t get reception in the hospital. Much easier than having to deal with the people that I knew would be calling over and over and over!

So excited for you!!

Sending positive delivery thoughts your way! I hope that all goes perfectly and that you will be in your own bed by Friday or Saturday. I can’t wait to hear all the details. How long were you in labor with Dibits, I can’t remember? Take it easy! And sleep well (does Matt get a sleeping pill too or is he a typical man that can sleep anywhere at anytime)!

Heh. Work blocked my access to comment on your last post (before this one was up), but it doesn’t block this one. So strange (but definitely not complaining!).

So good luck (again). :)

Good luck! I am a reader of your blog for a long time now. I have kids right around the same age as yours. I just had a baby in June. Good luck! I hope the induction goes well. I was induced both times and they were pretty quick and painless with the epidural!
