well...
i got that dissapointing call from the hospital that i was 1/2 expecting!
my dr. said that the hospital would call me by 10 pm to let me know if i could come in for my 5am appt.
well, at 10:01pm, i got the call that the hospital is at capacity...
that has happened every time!
well, not to worry! i have MUCH to keep me busy!
the good news is that i got a call from Jennifer Convertibles that my couch is scheduled for deliver on the 14th! that is 2 weeks earlier than we were counting on! so i am thrilled about that!
i guess it gives me a little more time!
i am BUMMED!
but... ready when they are!
i will keep you posted.....
Oh man! I didn't know that they did that :( Hang in there and stay busy. It will make the time go by faster!

The same thing happened to me twice with my daughter. Thankfully the second time my water broke and they had to take me : )
Hope you enjoy your extra day(s) of pregancy

Your COUCH can get early delivery but your baby can't??? Too funny.
Both times when I had my boys I was the only woman in the unit and I got lots of attention! Sounds like your hospital is a little bigger than mine....
Might they take you later today, or does this mean waiting for another day? I hope, now that you've got that date in your mind, they will be able to take you soon, the waiting is the worst.
Good luck!

Oh, what a bummer Heidi!! But just think, you could go into labor on your own, and then they'd have to take you!
How sad is it that I was thinking of you all night, knowing that you were scheduled for today. Maybe it's because I just had mine a couple months ago.
Good luck girl!!

Sigh. I have been thinking about you this morning... all in good time. I am just glad that you are a seasoned pro at this - imagine if you were a first timer! Hang in there.

Hope that your wait is not long, but it is a wit that is worth every minute. Good luck.

Its a great way to touch up on your toes and legs! Its the little things in life that make a big difference. Noone would understand that but us women! Hope all goes well for you and your family

You poor thing! Hang in there. Our prayers are with you! can't wait to hear boy or girl :)
Posted by: chris | August 07, 2006 at 07:19 AM
UGGGG! I hate it when that happens. You know if you go into labor they will make room for you. You could go on a brisk walk to get things going. An old friend of mine swears by eating beets to get things going. I've never tried that since I'm a picky eater. Or you could just use this time to relax...perhaps even sleep while your'e waiting for an opening to come available in the hospital. My thought are with you. http://jolenegeorge.blogspot.com/

EEPS!!! Don't you HATE that! Hugs on the waiting!
