Waiting on baby : the plan
I got the text on Sunday around noon. My niece's water broke.
I have been saving sick time at the library for when this precious baby boy arrives. I have a new car to ride up to Philly. My plans are in place.
After a few texts to co-workers to make sure they will be in for our Monday night crew because work frowns upon you not finding coverage on your Saturday (every 3rd week) or your night, my plans are in motion.
Pack a bag✓
Call daughter ✓✓
Do some last minute stuff at home ✓
Monday morning arrives and I have a text that she is around 3 Cm dilated. I have some coffee and hop in the car. I take the longer scenic way up to Philly. I know my daughter won't be ready for to go there until around noon. This will give my niece time to give birth, we can visit mom and baby and I can head back around dinner time. This is a great plan.
Get to Philly to pick up my daughter. Receive a text that she is 7cm dilated. I jokingly tell her that she is proceeding slower than I drive. A standard family joke because I always take the long scenic ways. A bit of deviation to my plan but this is exciting, a baby is coming.
Find hospital, find parking lot, trek through about 3 building because we found the wrong parking lot, get off elevator at wrong floor. This should give baby plenty of time to get born. Ah yes, my plans are unraveling just a bit.
Wait, color, text, tv, gab with other families, clock ticks, father updates us, go grab something to eat...........the lullaby song plays.......oh shoot did we miss it! What about my plan?
Text my mom, will have to stay, don't want to drive back to South Jersey in the dark, possible C-section soon. My poor niece this was not her plan.
Other patient's visitors burst into waiting room, burst into waiting area, the baby they waited for didn't make it. Stunned waiting room faces. Time froze for a few seconds. This was not their plan.
Got word that C-section started, Go down to eat, make texts and calls. Baby arrives. Big boy at 9.5 oz, mom, dad and baby doing well. It's late. The day may not have went according to my plan but baby's plan and God's plan worked out well!
