Number Three?
Posted by Isabel on April 17th, 2006. Filed under: We're having a baby.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.

I AM SOOO SORRY. DANGIT.
April 17th, 2006 at 9:46 am
They never called!? That sucks! Their karma is dropping pretty fast for this torture they’re making you go through.
April 17th, 2006 at 9:50 am
Oh my gosh, I thought FOR SURE your next update would be about your little boy! Hang in there. You didn’t go to work, though, did you?
Happy belated Easter!
April 17th, 2006 at 10:01 am
Oh Gosh! That’s awful! I’ve never heard of being on-call for induction! You must have one really cozy uterus! He’ll be here soon…
April 17th, 2006 at 10:07 am
THAT SUCKS!!! It will happen, (i hope before Xmas…lol) Your baby boy will be here soon…
April 17th, 2006 at 10:14 am
Oh, it will happen. Babies always end up coming out, you know…
I will be thinking inducey thoughts for you today!!
April 17th, 2006 at 10:15 am
Oh how awful!!!!
I can’t even imagine!
April 17th, 2006 at 10:16 am
that sucks donkey balls….
April 17th, 2006 at 10:21 am
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…
April 17th, 2006 at 10:27 am
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.
April 17th, 2006 at 10:27 am
That is such a bummer. I’m sending “Labor” vibes. Apparently the little man is a bit nervous about making his debut.
April 17th, 2006 at 10:27 am
You poor thing! I hope that they call you really soon! Good luck!
April 17th, 2006 at 10:35 am
What a bummer. I hope your Easter wasn’t totally ruined from waiting around for them to call you in.
Hang in there!
April 17th, 2006 at 10:43 am
Ohhhhhhh SO EXCITING!!!
April 17th, 2006 at 10:46 am
good god, you’ve got to be kidding.
April 17th, 2006 at 10:50 am
Ugh. what a roller coaster. Hopefully there are plenty of things to keep you guys occupied while you wait on the phone call. Good luck!
April 17th, 2006 at 10:56 am
I can’t believe they NEVER called you! I kept refreshing your blog today and yesterday for the big announcement… Keep us posted!
April 17th, 2006 at 11:16 am
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!!
April 17th, 2006 at 11:20 am
Hang in there. He’s gotta come out sometime.
April 17th, 2006 at 11:37 am
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.
April 17th, 2006 at 11:39 am
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!
April 17th, 2006 at 11:58 am
i’m so mad rite now…bloody hospitals!! ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!
hold on girl, u’ll be just fine
April 17th, 2006 at 12:49 pm
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.
April 17th, 2006 at 12:50 pm
Maybe it is time for some hard core sex? Couldn’t hurt!
I too was expecting to see a baby on the next post. Good luck! Hope it happens soon!
April 17th, 2006 at 12:58 pm
Oh, that’s just mean.
April 17th, 2006 at 2:09 pm
No way. I can’t believe they didn’t even call you! In the immortal words of Stephanie Tanner (Full House) “How Rude!” I hope you are first in line tomorrow morning
April 17th, 2006 at 2:47 pm
oooooo crap! i thought you’d be updating with a pic of baby! i soo hope you go on your own like now!!!!!
April 17th, 2006 at 4:24 pm
Goodness! I hope you get to birthing soon!
April 17th, 2006 at 4:47 pm
Ugh!!! It will be soon!!!
hang in there!
April 17th, 2006 at 5:42 pm
they never called? WTF? how awful for you to be anxious and ready all day long waiting for some asswipe to remember to phone you. Good luck for today. I hope they get it right this time.
April 17th, 2006 at 8:00 pm
Man…the waiting must be excrutiating!
Soon!!
April 17th, 2006 at 8:10 pm
What is WRONG with people?! You cannot do that to a pregnant mother. I’m sorry you’re dealing with this CRAP. Hang in there.
April 18th, 2006 at 4:06 am
Fingers crossed that it will happen quickly and easily…AND SOON!!!
April 18th, 2006 at 9:16 am
*refresh, refresh, refresh*
Hang in there! I hope you’re in right now holding your little guy!
April 18th, 2006 at 10:24 am
WTF???? I thought for sure you were welcoming Baby Boy on Sunday!! But now it’s Tuesday…hoping they called!!
April 18th, 2006 at 11:16 am
I’m so excited for you. That baby must be have arrived by now, yes? I can’t wait to read all about it!
Best of luck…
April 18th, 2006 at 11:53 am
ACK. That’s horrible. Am hoping it happened today, or is happening, or has already happening, because ENOUGH ALREADY.
April 18th, 2006 at 1:02 pm
I am sure, that by now your little boy is here. Sorry they put you through so much grief beforehand though!
April 18th, 2006 at 4:59 pm
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…
April 19th, 2006 at 12:48 am
Who knew there was an Induce Me waiting list? Happy baby soon!
April 19th, 2006 at 7:26 am
Oh this happened to me. I was throwing things violenly when I was told an emergency came in and took my room an I had to wait until the next day *maybe*.
April 19th, 2006 at 8:55 am
It’s Wednesday now. Did you have him????????
April 19th, 2006 at 9:22 am
He’s gotta be here by now! I’m gonna go out on a limb and say CONGRATS!!
April 19th, 2006 at 9:23 am
I am hoping that your absense means a baby! fingers crossed! We can;t wait to hear all about it!
April 19th, 2006 at 5:13 pm
Ugg!! I’m crossing my fingers for you!! Hope to hear good baby news soon. Hopefully since it is Wednesday and you haven’t posted since Monday that means there is a little one in the picture!!
April 19th, 2006 at 5:29 pm

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!
April 20th, 2006 at 12:23 pm
Oh yay! Thank you, anonymous!
April 20th, 2006 at 12:33 pm

Yeay Isabel! Yeay King! Yeay little prince! I keep “refreshing” the page hoping to hear something. So happy you guys are all doing great!
April 20th, 2006 at 3:48 pm
Oh and Um, that’s one big baby! Can’t wait to hear THAT story!
April 20th, 2006 at 4:03 pm
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?)
April 20th, 2006 at 4:04 pm
Um, OK, I retract and add another CONGRATULATIONS!!!
I can’t wait for pictures!
April 20th, 2006 at 7:44 pm
WooHoo! Congratulations to y’all!!
Welcome Little Prince!!!
Can hardly wait for the pics!
Did you ever decide on a name?
April 20th, 2006 at 7:59 pm
Hooray for Isabel!
April 21st, 2006 at 12:05 am

April 21st, 2006 at 12:06 am
Holy Crap that’s a big baby!! Sounds like Isabel went all Amalah on us… and had a monster baby!! Congratulations y’all!!!!!!!
April 21st, 2006 at 2:18 am
Yay! Congratulations!
April 21st, 2006 at 5:29 am
Congratulations! Glad to hear you’re all doing well. Give the little prince a kiss from all your internet friends!
April 21st, 2006 at 6:18 am

I love big babies. They’re so sturdy and cute. I’m always freaked out to hold my friends’ little six pounders because they seem so fragile.
April 21st, 2006 at 1:49 pm
Wow, what a big baby. Congratulations!
April 21st, 2006 at 1:49 pm
Yay!!!! He’s finally here! CONGRATULATIONS!
