This is it...almost a family of five

Everything was happening the same as it did with the boys, but with a little more advanced notice. With the boys, I went to the doctor on Monday and he admitted me that evening for an inducement. This time, the doctor scheduled my inducement a week ahead of time. Fortunately, we were able to plan for where the boys would be going, when I would leave work, wrap up loose ends at work, etc. Every day that passed allowed us to be a little bit closer to a state of readiness! Chris and I both worked Monday and took off a little early to meet at home. We then went and picked the boys up early from school for our last dinner as a family of four. The boys were so well-behaved at dinner and asked a lot of questions about what the week would look like. Many times, Connor kept forgetting that he would actually see me at the hospital as he kept telling me he would see me in a few days.

We then dropped the boys off at their best friend's house for their first sleepover of the week. We had reminded them of the rules several times about it being a school night and they had to go to bed at a decent time and not give the parents the same issues in the morning as they do us. Other than the three boys getting the Wii taken away and redirected to other activities, they seemed to have a good time and were well-behaved. Enough to be asked to stay there again in a couple days!

After much wait and stalling, we then proceeded to the hospital for a 10pm check-in to prepare for the 4am inducement. We were so ready to welcome our new baby girl!
