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. :)

Good for you, Nat. Honestly, sometimes I wonder why people bother becoming OB/GYNs at all if they aren't willing to be flexible. Doesn't birth, for goodness sake, require flexibility?
We are keeping you in our prayers, and we can't wait to see pictures of your new little one when she gets here.
Why don't you guys try to switch Ob's? Or would that be impossible?? Maybe if you "threaten" her with the idea, she'll stop being such a freaking hooker and just do it! I thought it was such an awesome idea to have her on Bob's dad's birthday, so if she won't do it, someone else will!!!
That is so crappy, what a crazy OB/GYN. What was she thinking when she became a Dr. Well there is always the chance that she will just come on May 12th, I will keep my fingers crossed for you. Any names yet?
Hang in there Natalie! She will be worth every minute of it, I'm sure. Sorry that your doctor is such a jerk! We love you!
