Labor Day

As much as we appreciate all your suggestions for bringing on labor, none of them worked. So the powers that be have decided to induce Tini and Nirmal's baby.  We're now all sequestered in labor room #2.

I was at the mall when I got the call.  I was so excited I raced into J. Crew, did a lap among all the orange and hot pink clothes then hit up Starbucks for an iced grande skim latte.  Not so sure if I needed the caffeine.

GG and I packed as if for an overnight flight.  Extra socks, a cashmere hoodie, moccasins to replace the Uggs ( yes, Uggs might be so 5 years ago but these rooms are cold) moisturizing lotions, nuts, cheese, crackers, apples and bottles of water, books, magazines, newspaper and of course a computer:)

We were told it could take anywhere from 12 hours to three days.  Tini is already impatient with the whole procedure and would like to move it along.

Um they have just upped the pertosin so it sounds like it is starting to work.....

 I know it's a holiday week but hoping you all keep posting, it's a wonderful distraction for all of us.

                                              

Well all of us but Tini.  She's a little busy.

  2. If they had to up the Pitocin things must have been moving too slowly. You may need the caffiene. (I actually know a few things 'bout birthin' babies.)

    I'm very happy for all of you. Hopes and prayers that everyone goes smoothly and quickly.

    Yay!

  3. Well, this couldn't be more exciting! Hopefully, all will go fast, but baby has his own agenda. The only piece of advice I can give..don't eat anything that smells really good around Tini, at least not yet. That is all I got, except sending all positive energy your way!!!

  6. Wow! What a great way to start the new year ... and they might get a deduction for 2011. (when I was little I thought that the government paid you $500 to have a baby the last week of the year, so I would have been extra happy for Tini and Nirmal!)

    Hope things have gone quickly and well and that you are already celebrating a new member of your family. love to all, and big hugs!

    and I want the cashmere hoodie. xoxo

  12. Well? What happened? Surely the baby yielded to all that waiting-room pressure and put in an appearance? We need to know!
