So, I called Candy yesterday morning to see how she was doing, and things seemed to be okay. I asked her if she needed anything, and since I was on my twice-weekly run to Ross (whenever I am at Doug’s parents for breakfast, I go for a walk/jog to Ross and back), she asked me to pick up some cute socks. So I found some really cute, super-soft, pink socks for her, and on my way home from Doug’s parents’ house, I decided to make a quick stop at the hospital to drop them off.

As I parked the van in the hospital parking lot, my cell phone rang, and it was Candy. I told her that I just pulled into the parking lot. She said “Okay, I’ll see you in a minute.” On my way in, I started to get a funny feeling about why she was calling. When I came in, I knew why.

The doctor told them, “I think it’s time.”

So she was going to be prepped for induction last night at 8:00 PM, and fully induced sometime today. Wow. Exciting and scary all at the same time. Inducing now gives them a good chance for a natural delivery, rather than a c-section.

Mike was so funny. Talk about “deer in the headlights” :lol:

I am hopeful that they will have a great birth experience.
