Public Enemy #1

Well another week has passed, and we have officially arrived at Jack's "Due Date".  Let me tell you what that means......Jack squat!!!  Merissa went to Dr. Lloyd (PE#1) on Friday with extreem back pain hoping he would help her out of her misery and induce her, and what did he do???  He sent her for a massage and told her to come back Monday.  This made for a long weekend of waiting and trying to stay comfortable.  

  So after a weekend of waiting Monday finally got here and we got to go back for another trip to PE#1's office for a check-up.  After examining Merissa, he told us that she could be induced today(Tuesday).  He warned though that she was a low priority and had a pretty high chance of getting bumped off the schedule.  We were excited at the chance that we would be delivering today even if it was slim.  Oh if only we had known....

When being induced the patient(Merissa) can't have anything by mouth after midnight the night before, which for a 9 month pregnant woman SUCKS.  We were told to call at 6:00am to see how the schedule was looking.  5:59 We called them, and we were told they couldn't tell us anything and to wait until 9:30am and call back. So at 9:30 Merissa called the hospital again and got more of the same.... call back at 11:30.  Keep in mind she still couldn't have anything by mouth, not even water. And of course when she talked to the hopsital at 11:30 they told her it would be more convienant for the doctor (PE#1) if they rescheduled for Friday.  So we are moderatley certain that she could have been admitted today but it wasn't "Convienant" for PE#1 so we needed to reschedule for Friday.  Keep in mind all the "nothing by mouth" stuff will apply again Friday, and being a low priority will also apply so she might not even get to deliver then....  

Needless to say we are a little frustrated with the way things went today, but another week or so and this will all be behind us.  Bah Humbug!  

Come Out JACK!!!! We want to play with you!!

Anyone else think he could have played Ferris Beuller's Principal???
