Baby boy's birth day was officially moved! Rebekah's scheduled induction will be June 18th...only 20 days away! I've been bubbling over all day. This makes me feel so much more settled, to have a date.
I AM SO EXCITED.
June 12th will be my last day of work and we'll probably head out on the 13th or 14th. We have a very long drive ahead of us.
The doctor did remind Rebekah that if her blood pressure or protein spiked up, they would have to take the baby earlier...but for now her levels were great and we're holding tight. I'm praying that she makes it to June 18th. I know it's a selfish prayer...and that Rebekah is really miserable right now...but I want to be there SO bad. What a gift she is giving me. Not only a son...but the opportunity to help coach him into this world, holding his mama's hand. I don't want to pass it up!
Rebekah's kids leave for their dad's, this weekend. I'm hoping that rest will take over her body and she'll be able to collect herself and relax.
The psycho-planner in me already has our trip laid out. I picture us arriving early, settling into the little cottage, and taking Rebekah to dinner the night before the birth. I know, well enough, that life doesn't always turn out as planned....
We'll just have to wait and see!
(Oh, and birth father was located, but we haven't heard if he signed.)

Yeah for having a date - I know the feeling of having a date your mind just starts going a hundred miles an hour to make sure you have everthing you need done and then you just know you have forgotten something just not sure what!!! I know the night we got the phone call I was off the couch in a flash, running around trying to get things done and it was 4 hours later before we got a call back to head to the hospital - I was drained from anticipated during that time.... I am SO excited for you guys and I am keeping everyone in my prayers!

Are you keeping your bumper pads in your crib? I recently learned they are not recommended anymore, at least here in Canada. Moo cow is adorable!!
