...is that something or someone seems to always put a kink in them. I am a planner. I like to be in control of situations. This is my kind of type A personality I guess people say. But I am learning, especially since becoming a mother of young children. Planning doesn't always work out, and I have to learn to roll with the punches, or so the saying goes.
Robert and I have planned all three of our pregnancies. We have planned all three deliveries as well. This is mainly due to wanting and needing to get my family from Wyoming here for it. So far, we have been 2 for 2 in the planning of our babies coming. But this third one, I should have known with how this pregnancy has been so different from the others, it is going to show us that we are not able to "plan" when she arrives.
I went to my OBGYN appointment this morning and my doctor informed me that she needs to get me rescheduled for the week before or the week after my original induction date on August 2nd. She has realized that she is going to be out of town that week. REALLY? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? CRAP! That is what went through my head as she was talking to me. But I tried to stay calm as I spoke to her and told her that was a problem seeing that my sister and my mother had just bought their tickets to be here the weekend of August 2nd. These are non-refundable tickets because we got them online. However, I think I may be able to get the airlines to change the flight dates for me, if I have a medical necessity situation. Oh, and maybe I will have to cry.
I am a person that needs my family around me at times like: having a baby, blessing a baby, birthdays, holidays, etc... it is devastating to think they won't get to be here for my last baby being born. I love when my mother is here because she is so good had just pitching in and taking care of everything while I am recovering and in the hospital. It takes such a load off me to not have to worry about my other girls while I'm at the hospital.
At this point, my doctor pulled a few strings and got me rescheduled to induce and deliver baby a few days before she leaves town. Thursday, July 29th is the planned date now for baby to arrive. Now I have to try to get the changes worked out with my family to be here. We will see what happens?

Oh no! I'm sure with your charm (and raging mother/pregnancy hormones) you will be able to convince the airlines to change the tickets! Good luck! Also, I was surprised to read that this will be your last addition to your family! Done "trying" for a boy? No pressure from us though... we are getting a little tired of hearing "when are you going to try for a little girl?" Good luck with the ticket situation!
This is the EXACT reason I hate living so STINKING far from family! UGH! SO sorry about this....I guess on the bright side you get to have the baby earlier than expected possibly right?!
I hope everything works out..that'd be a bummer not to have all that great help!
I hear ya!! Man, that's a bummer. I was freaking out when B went 2 weeks early and my parents had to leave within 24 hours. HIND SIGHT it was nice not to have my mom at the actual delivery b/c she would've made me even more emotional than I already was (emergency c-section and all!) so I know that it will work out the way it is supposed to for you! Just pray that things will go "the way they are supposed to" and you'll be surprised how awesome it all turns out. SIDE NOTE: YEAH, she will be here even sooner!! Can't wait to see pictures :)
One more thing.... why not just schedule the delivery with a different DR that can do it on the 2nd? I mean, if you went naturally while your DR was on vacation then you'd have a different one anyway... just a thought!?! because of our situation, I never even saw my DR during B's delivery. I had the On-Call DR of both the day and night shifts end up being there with me b/c my DR was always doing other deliveries! Again, just a thought - what's more important, having your family there and keeping to your plan (if possible) or having that DR delivery the baby!?! Know what I mean!?! :)
