Today (with updates)

Ok, so we called at 530a. They told us to call back at 930a. We both think that it's borderline cruelty, but this is how hospitals operate (no pun intended).

UPDATE: We're still not at the hospital. We've called a few times but they don't have room for us yet. Apparently some line-jumpers went into labor or something so we have to wait. Next call to the hospital is 130p.

Update, again: Not yet and it doesn't look good for today. We'll call again at 4p and see how it looks.

Another update: We're going in! The fun begins at 7p. Further updates later.

Do you realize you're reinacting a Friends episode?

Here's what to do while you wait: go buy some bagels/muffins for your OB staff. I always think it's nice to bribe a little extra care & attention during your stay. For my last kid we brought chocolate cheesecake & I got the royal treatment!

Meigan, that's a great idea!

Clearly Godot wants to share a birthday with me...can you make it til Saturday?!?

At least he/she's trying to be a Virgo. That is for sure!!!

I think bribing hospital staff is an excellent idea. I'm writing that one down.

Can you call and pretend to be in labor... they will tell you to come in.. then they might not send you home...

Ugh. How frustrating. Since it is 4:40pm I am hoping you are on your way into the hospital :)

I'll be checking on a regular basis!
