Sheer Disappointment

I woke up this morning at 6a.m. and called the hospital to check on the status of my scheduled 7:30a.m. induction. The nurse who answered said to call back in a half hour. Panic officially set in when it occurred to me that there might be no room at the inn... I called back at 6:30a.m. and they said to wait and call back at 11a.m. because they had four women come in that morning all in labor and poor old me, I just want to have this baby but there is no medical emergency behind it. So I call back at 11 a.m. to find out that the "charge" nurse is in a delivery and will have to call me back. Could the clock tick any slower? And then the phone finally rang just minutes ago with the news that my induction was cancelled. The nurse had called my doctor and let him know and he said to call the office tomorrow to schedule for a second time. So now after having my family drive 9 hours to be here and telling more people than I can count, I am forced to take a dose of humility and wait. Ahhh waiting - isn't that the best part of pregnancy (please note the sarcasm).

So tomorrow morning at 8a.m. I am going to call the doctor's office for a second attempt at delivering the little person who ISN'T GETTING ANY SMALLER...

I know there is a lesson in all of this for me but right now, I really don't want to learn it.
