Much ado about nothing...and perhaps a name?

So...I guess I shouldn't have gotten all riled up in my last post. I went to my Dr.'s appointment today, and talked to her about being induced on May 12th. I explained again that the date had sentimental and significant meaning to our family, and I got a completely different reaction. She said not to worry, and that she'd make May 12th happen for us. Wow - what a relief! That means 6 more weeks to go. 6 weeks? Eeek! That's so soon!

It has been a struggle for us to come up with a name for "baby sister" as Jake calls her. We didn't have any issue for Jake, but finding a girl's name that we both like has been a challenge. We finally have a potential decision - Taylor. Thoughts?

Scratch that...

So much for our May 12th big idea. At my last Dr's appointment, we told her we had decided to go ahead with inducing on May 12th. My doc was like, oh that won't work...I'm not on call that day. Apparently she doesn't do inductions on days that she isn't on call - in case labor takes longer than her normal "office hours". ARRRGGH! Why offer something if you aren't willing to follow through? She even seemed sort of ticked off that we were irritated with the situation. She then said I could be induced on May 15th..."that's still a day early". I could care less about having the baby come early, more that she was supposed to be born on a specific day for a specific reason...otherwise I wouldn't have even considered being induced. So, I let her know if it can't be May 12th, then I don't want to be induced. What can I say - that made her less than thrilled. She really seems to want to have her day as scheduled as possible. Uh, hello? You are an OB/GYN - I'm not sure it's the greatest idea to try to schedule mother nature. She even said something to the affect that she doesn't even live near the hospital anymore, sort of indicating that it would be a huge hassle for her. Oh, wow...sorry to inconvenience you! Well, I sure hope it works out for us, but if not, we'll let the little one stay put as long as she likes. :)
