Friday is our day!

We went to our last OB appt today, what a great feeling that was! Our Dr. came in and we started talking about an induction date. She told us that she is taking the weekend off because she has been on call the last 3 weekends, so she needs a break! So we decided on Monday. She went out to call the hospital to reserve me a bed, but when she came back she told us that the hospital is full until Thursday. Hmmm...that would have meant that my mom would be here for a whole week before anything even happened (unlesss I go into labor on my own). We told the Dr. we'd really like to go sooner if at all possible. So she gave us two other options, we could try to go to the other hospital on Monday or we could go into the hospital we had chosen on Friday, but she wouldn't be able to deliver us. She went out to call the other hospital to see if they were also full and while she was gone we discussed it and decided to go ahead with Friday. Just because I would really like Jacob to be able to stay with me at the hospital during the weekend and not have to go to work the next day after I deliver. And because it was at the hospital of our choice. And because it's 3 days earlier :). So when the Dr. came back in we told her our choice. I couldn't really tell how she felt about this, she seemed kind of upset that we would choose to deliver on a day when she couldn't be there, but oh well, that was our decision. She'll still be able to induce me and get things started, but unless I have the baby by noon, she won't be delivering me. But I'm OK with this since I also never met my Dr. that delivered Chels until I was in labor. A Dr. is a Dr. right? So that's the plan, we go in on Friday at 8 am. Wish me luck!!!

I've had many inqueries about what names we are thinking about. And to be honest, we haven't decided for sure yet. We know what his last name will be, hehe, and we know his first name will be Dean. We also know his middle name will start with an M. The reason for this is because my Dad and Jacob's Grandfather are both named Dean M. We thought that was a pretty big coincidence and since we love both of these men dearly we thought naming the baby after them would be a good tribute. But, we still haven't decided on a middle name. Depending on what we decide on the baby might go by his middle name, instead of his first name Dean. So it could be a very important middle name. We just can't agree on anything though. So I guess we'll all soon know what we decide. I'm hoping once I see him something will feel right, like it did with Chels. If not, then I guess I'm screwed!
