Okay first the vitals-amniotic fluids look great (12.8 up from 9 and 11.9 last week), heart rate and blood pressure everything looks great.

So after the testing we wait and wait-our Doctor was in O.R. so they sent in another Doctor to check in with us. Nice lady Doctor everything is great still no dilation yet.

My wife was on her "day outside the wire" as she is on home bed rest (and actually doing it) so I asked if she wants to go out to have an early dinner. We end up at a strip mall restaurant chain because my wife loves their salad bar. As we are having our burgers her cell phone rings and rings and rings she finally answers it-it is the nurse.

"Okay" "uh-huh" "OH!" is all I hear. My lovely wife closes the flip top cell phone and with no warning no holding my hand not even eye contact just says out loud

"They are going to induce on July 28th we have to be there at 6:30 in the morning"



:spray: :yoiks: :o :scared:


WOW! BAM! that's it! It's official!! (she cracked up as I told this story to my mom later)

So then there's that.

Oh I also took my truck to get checked out by GEICO before the doctor appointment. My "uninsured motorist" insurance covers hit and runs too (we got hit leaving the hospital two weeks ago tomorrow)

TOTALED amongst other things the covering over the front right wheel is unseated from the firewall. The guy is calling me back sometime today with the $$$ figures. I want to keep the truck but we could use the cash right now. At least I get a rental car for 8 days.

So my truck is totaled and my wife is pregnant-she was actually barefoot and standing in the kitchen when I left for work this morning.

1. did your dog leave you too?

:D

damn man! you have to get up for a 6:30 AM appointment?

can't she take a bus or something? :D

[underpants]

6. I'll just pin a bus ticket and the bus stop number on her

and drop her off on my way to the golf course

:bounce:

[matcom]

NOW your talking!

i LOVE breaking the morning dew on the greens. don't forget to give her a dollar in case she wants a Clark Bar or sumptin'

[Richardo]

14. Hush now, matcom, or you'll give all the other wives ideas.

'Dollar for a Clark bar.'

You're just tryin to show the rest of us up! :grr:

[matcom]

15. well, i AM the greatest husband in the world you know

:D

[Richardo]

16. I read that somewhere.

[underpants]

17. Cheese nabs

They are cheaper and she can't have any sugar. I usually pack some up in her "away bag" anyway but yeah she might want an RC or sumptin'

[Zuni]

18. what do you think I am? A Doctor? A Laywer?

I can't be buying her a clark bar or I will have to buy everyone a clark bar :eyes:

[DS1]

20. Pin might fall off, write it on her forehead instead

[matcom]

22. dumbass. everyone knows that if you use her forhead

STAPLES work best :D

[kick-ass-bob]

2. They induced my wife @ 6:30 am

had the kid at nearly 5 in the afternoon.

Prepare for a loooong day, UP.

(I'm still gonna win - mother nature will intervene in my favor)

[Midlodemocrat]

31. I was induced at 6AM with my third.

I was so ready to get that little alien out of me.

[Dhalgren]

3. You just hang tough! It sounds like everything is going to work

out fine - we're with you, here.

What kind of truck? ;)

[underpants]

9. '87 Toyota

All told it cost us $2,000 but that was a long term investment. It WAS a longterm investment that is.

Good sturdy reliable extra vehicle-actually I was driving it to work (GREAT gas mileage).

19. Something similar happened to my husband earlier this year.

His old but good truck was parked at work when it was totaled. The driver tried to flee on foot, but he was too drunk to get far.

He was actually insured, too. We got a new truck out of it.

Our kids are grown, though. Good wishes to Mrs. UP. She will get through this just fine. Is it your first?

[underpants]

23. Yes our first

Thanks

[BlondieK143]

4. Glad things are going well so far!

You know, other than the fact that your poor truck is gone! :) I still she'll have it on the 24th. :P

[ET Awful]

5. Barefoot, pregnant and in the kitchen . . . are you SURE you're a liberal?

:evilgrin:

[papau]

13. He did not say he lived at the edge of town!

:-)

[supernova]

7. So glad wife and baby are doing well, UP

Hey, look at the bright side though, you might get a new car out of it? :shrug:

I still hope little UPlet shows up on MY birthday, Saturday 16th.

[underpants]

10. No it was an old truck

but a good one. See post above. The driver who hit us took off.

[Debbi801]

8. Good luck!

Mother nature could ahve a different idea and she could go earlier. Just be prepared for the unexpected. :-)

[underpants]

12. Oh we are

Ready to go at a moments notice. I dropped my car off to get an oil change this morning ... :scared: just hope it isn't today

[tigereye]

25. I remember when I was pregnant

I was sitting in a traffic jam a few days before I was due, hoping it wouldn't be right then and at a meeting that week, people were wondering why I was there and when I was going to pop!

... when is her actual due date, UP?

Best to you guys!

[underpants]

28. July 31

SO this is (if it goes as planned) going to be pretty much a full term pregnancy.

[tigereye]

29. very cool!

hmmm... well.... induction pretty much means that or the next day, so is the 28-th a fair guess?


Well, feel free to ask if you need some parent support after the little one arrives. Let people do for ya, shlep stuff for ya, cook for ya, take it as easy as you can, bring in the troops, and get some sleep if you can! :)

[Shell Beau]

11. That has the makings of a perfect country and western song!

Good luck with all!
