Somehow we forgot to take our own advice to not have a baby in September. (Of course sometimes you don't really get to choose). Our new baby is due September 3rd - three measly days after the school cutoff.
In the previous post you learned that I wasn't going to be induced early like I had hoped. So we canceled all our helpers and told them to wait a week. On Monday we went back to the doctor for a check up. I hoped there would be some progress, but knew that even if there was, there was probably no way to get scheduled at the hospital with such short notice.
Well, Dr Judd checked me and then said, "So, do you want to have a baby on Wednesday? I reserved a spot at the hospital for you just in case." What?! Well, that would have been nice to know before we canceled our perfectly arranged schedule.
We spent the rest of the day on the phone trying to arrange help so we could have our baby in August instead of September. It started getting pretty complicated, but finally Dad and Jana were able to come while we were in the hospital to take care of everyone else, and then Brian's mom could come after that. Hooray!
So everything is set. Its not like we had to have our baby before the school cut off. We might decide to wait a year before kindergarten anyway - but at least this time we will have the choice! The other thing about having an August baby is that now we will have birthdays in May (Ashby), June (Me), July (Levi), August (baby) and September (Paige). Fun, right?
