We have settled into our labor and delivery room and Lindsay is already hungry - she wants Hananoki. They got her all hooked up with IVs in (smooth & easy), labs taken, pills in, and contractions (she finally feels them) about 5-6 minutes apart. She is watching Ellen at the moment. Nurse told us that our children over 4 could be in the room so we are excited that Emersen will be able to visit and see her new brother.

This has been an eventful 2 days. Lindsay had her check up yesterday at 11 am and Doctor Anderson said she was progressing and he would induce her today. The only catch was they were all booked up so she would be on the waiting list. Lindsay's sister, Kelly, and her 1 year old son, Brock, decided to go ahead and make the trip from Knoxville. The doctor said he would call to confirm at 5 pm, and he called at 6 pm and said that he could schedule her at noon. We got home and our upstairs AC was out, so it was hot in our bedrooms and Lindsay had to sleep downstairs (even though she couldn't sleep much) on the couch. So much for a restful final night, we were both up around 3 am this morning. While getting ready this morning around 10 am, the doctor called and said labor and delivery was full and not to come to the hospital! He hoped that some babies would come quickly so he could get Lindsay in today. If not, we would have to wait until Tuesday ... and we were all disappointed. At 1:50 pm, he called and said to come to the hospital. Lindsay woke me up from my nap with Annlee, and we came straight to the hospital. Everything is great so far, just glad that we finally know that we don't have to wait any longer.

Just found out that Lindsay's friend, Amy from the YMCA, just had her baby girl next door. 6 pounds 4 ounces.
