Ajax Gabriel simply needed a deadline. We never made it to the hospital on Sunday because my water broke of its own accord at midnight on Thursday, April 2. We got to the hospital at 7 am on Friday and he was born at 6:28 pm on April 3rd. He was 22 inches long and weighed 7 lbs 15 oz. We all came home today and so far are doing well. I just wanted to post some pictures to show everyone our beautiful baby boy and let everyone know that everyone is healthy and happy.
Well, we are now at D day, plus one. No activity to speak of, but as people constantly remind me- You Can Go At Any Time! I would like to say that I have calmed down a bit about this whole maternity leave thing (though I’m constantly thinking- I could be at work right now!) and have started to relax and enjoy the bit of quiet. I’ve been trying to sleep as much as possible, getting last minute running around done, cleaning, and have been visiting with family.
I had a doctor’s appointment today and according to the Doc we’re still at 1-2cm, so no progress there. We also haven’t been having anymore real contractions or signs of impending labor. The Doc therefore made the call that this Sunday I’m to report to Providence Hospital in Southfield at 6:30 pm to be induced. The Doc was a little concerned that the baby keeps getting bigger and we’re showing no signs of progressing. The Doc also said that the baby was in excellent shape, very healthy and just a little to comfortable in there. So Mr. Dave and I will be heading to the hospital on Sunday, which is a little scary as I’ve never been in a hospital before, but also very exciting as I’m one step closer to meeting my son. We shall keep everyone posted in case we go before Sunday!
