The night of the 31st we went home from the hospital. I had to go back the next day to return the 24 hour urine catch they wanted me to do. I was really emotional because I knew my sister and my mom were leaving in the morning without the chance of getting to meet the baby. I was also worried if Ken and I would be able to handle everything by ourselves. I knew deep down we could but it was really depressing knowing I was going to only have Ken there for support during the labor and delivery. Don't get me wrong I had totally faith in Ken that he would be amazing but there was something about having another woman there supporting me knowing what I was going through. We didn't let it ruin the last night they were here though. I'm grateful for the time we got to spend together. We had a lot of fun and it was really special to have them here. My sister made the Wood's famous banana nut bread a special treat that my grandma makes all the time. (There are even 2 loafs in my freezer left) Woohoo!!! We woke up the next morning very early and took them to the airport. It was so hard saying goodbye. I had visions of taking them to the airport and having them kiss the baby goodbye.
Later that evening we went back into Labor & Delivery where I had the option again to be induced. I was dilated at about 1-2, I was 4 days overdue and had recorded high blood pressure. I was ready for the baby to come. I was so frustrated that my body wasn't cooperating and I figured I might as well get induced now then later. Since it wasn't scheduled the Dr. looked in the books and they had an opening in the morning. So we went home and had our last uninterrupted night of sleep. Not know how long, and frustrating the next phase would be. (To be continued..) Again...
