come out come out wherever you are

Labor will be induced on Thursday. This is the second week in a row my wife’s blood pressure has been high when she went in for her check-up, and this time it didn’t come down.  Her cervix is already 2 cm dilated, so the doctor felt that it would be best to induce labor in order to get her blood pressure back down.  No complaints on our end.  The waiting game has been driving us crazy.

I guess if there is one disappointing thing about having a "scheduled " baby, it is that we won’t get to experience that surprise of going into labor at an unknown time or place, having that adrenaline rush, all the excitement, etc.

His name will be Dexter Levi.  I have a rather ethnic sounding last name, so it took some time as to decide on a name that sounds good with it.  And Dex is a cool nickname.

Levi is also a cool name! Best wishes for the New Year and for a speedy delivery…maybe Dex has a plan all his own to surprise you later today or tomorrow!
