Update

It's been TEN days since I have been induced!
My NP/mid-wife called me today - her care has been wonderful. She asked "Is anything happening YET?" I answered "no." She told me she needs to go to Tri Cities tomorrow (an hour from here) and get some shopping done. I am to call her if anything is happening and she will head back to Moses Lake. It is a comfortable, reassuring feeling that she really wants to be here for this delivery!
I am thinking I could sure use some sibling time right about now, wish they weren't so far. I might as well make waiting for this baby fun right?? I would LOVE to have my sisters and brothers here.
I know once this baby comes we will so appreciate a quiet house our little family of five... but at the moment distractions are kind of nice.
I joined Merit at a buddy's Birthday party this afternoon. That was what I needed -- hanging out with fun loving, rowdy kids and enjoying conversation with a few women I love, it was wonderful.
Vance and Merit are getting ready to watch a little football. Vance made an awesome baked spaghetti tonight... time to curl up on the couch with a good book.
