The Saga continues...

So... after very little sleep and going through the gamut of emotions from nervousness to excitement Frank and I trekked out to the hospital where we were scheduled to be induced this morning. We walked in the door tired but excited when the nurse looked up and said, 'Oh no. (as she looked at other nurses) This was our inducement for today. Oh no.' We just kinda looked at each other and waited for a minute when the nurse finally walked over and said that they had been so busy that for the last 8 hours their delivery room was closed to any new patients. That said, she took us to a room gave us another non-stress test to monitor the baby's heart and then after waiting for almost 2 hours we were sent home. The deal now is that if they can discharge at least 2 families by this afternoon we could go back and get induced today... If not, we will pretend it is ground hog's day (like the Billy Murray movie) and go back tomorrow and do the whole thing over again but this time with a guarantee of getting induced.

Oh I can't begin to describe how disheartened and disappointed we felt. I mean we know it'll eventually happen but it still is a great let down to us. Frank looked so disappointed and we joked how we would just start unpacking our things, get comfortable, put in a movie, I'd change into my pj's and then what could they do?? Oh well, this gives us another chance to try to get some more sleep and then we can try it again. I am sooooo looking forward to meeting this elusive girl inside me.
