We were packed and all ready to go. But as the day progressed, our check-in time got later and later. 6:30 - 7:00, then 9:00, then we were told we could either wait until the middle of the night or call and get another check-in time at 6:00 tomorrow morning. We decided that a night in our own bed would be more comfortable than sitting in a waiting room all night. Apparently, this is a good time to have a kid: they just don't have enough rooms available for all the people they have coming in, so induced labors are taking a second seat. Those women are all going into labor now just to bug us. I know it. ;-)
Tonight Pui cooked up a storm - a ton of delicious food, much of which we plan to have Mom and Dad bring us while we are in the hospital. When Pui gets nervous or excited, she cooks. Me, I repack. I repacked everything. I got everything into three small bags, separated by where the bags will go: one with me, and two with Pui - one full of stuff for her and her nursing needs, and another for her and for the baby's first day: hats, booties, and a blanket Pui's been sleeping on.
Tomorrow we call the hospital again at 6 AM, and we'll see how it goes. And we'll see if any of us get much sleep tonight.

Hi Rob and Pui
ReplyDeleteI will be thinking of you tonight and hope you get a good check-in time tomorrow and everything goes smoothly.
I look forward to the big news!

Hi Shannon! Thanks for the note! Right now we are just basically sitting on our hands and trying not to get too worked up...
