After visiting the doctor for my 40 week appointment, we decided to go ahead and schedule an induction, just in case. Nate and I, and really everyone else in the world, were quite surprised when the induction date came and we still hadn't had the baby! Nate's dad had come for a visit and since had to head home for work, and Nate's mom had been there for several days, and still nothing! The doctor called me on Monday to let me know that the induction was scheduled for Wednesday, July 25, at 8:00 p.m.. The p.m. part nearly pushed Nate and me over the edge into the loony bin. We were so anxious to move forward, get out of the holding pattern, and meet our new daughter! Cutting the grass the Saturday before she came in hopes that it would get things moving. No dice. Yep, I was ready. Wednesday evening came and I was getting nervous and emotional. Having given birth four times before, I knew what I was in for and I was scared. And it's always difficult for me...
