Our White Rabbit

Much like Alice’s white rabbit… our baby is late. He’s late, for a very important date. He’s late, he’s late, he’s late!

Right now (Monday), Baby C’s really only a day behind schedule but it feels like an eternity. It’s sort of like waiting for a Jack-in-the-box. You know he’s going to pop out at some point, you just don’t know when and you know you’re going to be startled.

Every night for the past week I’ve gone to bed thinking, “tonight is the night”. Every morning I wake up… and Melissa is still pregnant.

And I’m not the only one anxiously waiting. Melissa’s over being pregnant. And I’m pretty sure the grandparents-to-be are sleeping in their clothes, shoes at the ready, waiting for the call. They call to check-in, and then can’t hide their disappointment.

We go to the doctor today. We’ll get an update with how far along Melissa is, and we’ll set a date for induction (should be sometime next week). Kaiser won’t let you go more than two weeks past the due date.

Hopefully, we won’t get that far, but we need our white rabbit to get hopping.
