Number Three?April 17th, 2006 @ 9:25 am
We were scheduled to be induced yesterday.
We sat by the phone all day long.
They never called.
I called this morning.
They just called me back.
We’re #3 in line to be induced today.
They haven’t called anyone in yet.
We’re thinking this isn’t going to happen today.
In fact, I’m not sure this is ever going to happen at this point.
We're having a baby

Happy belated Easter!

Isabel, that sucks! I, too, thought this post would be to introduce the Little King to the blogosphere! Maybe you guys should be killing time doing some of the things your mom suggested…

I just cringed reading that. I can’t even begin to imagine how you must feel right now. Bob and I need to have a little talk about showing up to things in a timely manner. I’m really sorry man.

That is such a bummer. I’m sending “Labor” vibes. Apparently the little man is a bit nervous about making his debut.

OH.CRAP. I was SO thinking about you ALL.DAY.LONG yesterday and even called my mom so she could check your site when I was without a computer for a bit. Damn girl. Do I need to come to Seattle and straighten some people up? I’m not afraid! You know that Country vs. Southern conversation we had? I can get REAL Country REAL fast!! Thinking of the three of you and hoping it happens SOON!!

Good grief! I was sure you’d had her by now. It sounds like your hospital needs to get a new system…like scheduling inductions beforehand.

You poor thing! They shouldn’t string you along like that. I really hope that they get things moving along for you today. Good luck! And I can’t wait to see your little baby!

oh for fuck’s sake. I’m SO sorry!! But it will happen. This week. FOR SURE. I wish I could come up with something fabulous to distract you with until then. But my mind is mush from sleep deprivation. Big hugs for you and a giant middle finger salute to waiting in line for induction.

I’m hoping you had your baby last night… just because I remember in a previous post you said you didn’t want your baby to be born the same day as Katie Holmes and Tom Cruises baby… and supposedly they had theirs today…

Update!
The “Little Prince” made is appearance via c-section on Tuesday at around noon. Everyone is fine. He weighed 9 lbs 11 oz and was 22 inches long. Lots of hair and so cute! Isabel is doing well, and was concerned about everyone not knowing. I’m sure we’ll hear from her soon!

OK, Woman, I am starting to worry that you guys got buried under a house you’re demolishing. Don’t do this to us. Someone is supposed to be on here telling us baby news so that we don’t worry needlessly!!
(And so we can send gifts, of course! Right everyone?)
