Tina went to the doctor today for her final check up and as we suspected, they told her they wanted to induce labor. Her due date was 5/23 and as of today, Tina is 40 weeks + 3 days.
So, we got to the hospital around 8pm this evening as per their instruction. They induced labor at around 10pm. Poor Tina had to endure 3 pokes until they successfully implanted her IV. Emma’s (the baby for those who haven’t been paying attention) heart rate sounds good, but she keeps moving around and so the monitor keeps losing her heartbeat. She had the hiccups earlier. It’s 10:30pm now and Tina is trying to sleep. Mom and I are spending the night here, of course.

At this point, it seems fairly certain that we will get to see Emma for the first time tomorrow.
