We went to see Dr. P. this morning. We asked if he could induce labor on Monday. We were kidding.
He examined Tina and then asked, sort of out of the blue, whether we wanted to have the baby tomorrow. He was serious.
Everybody's fine and there's no health issue. He was just thinking about our convenience. The baby's big (8 1/2 pounds) and gaining about a pound a week, so he was thinking the sooner we deliver, the easier it will be. Which makes sense.
Unfortunately, tomorrow isn't convenient at all. My 3rd-year paper presentation (which was supposed to be in April, but that's a whole 'nother story) is on Friday, and I practice tomorrow. So inducing tomorrow doesn't help.
Our current plan is to induce on the 8th. The doc is out of town for the weekend and we'd all rather not induce when he's not around. So at least we know we're going early.
