The appointment with the new doctor went fine. Baby is measuring essentially on-track, is head-down, and has a heartbeat around 150 (same as usual). My blood pressure is fine, and she didn't notice any other problems.

I still wish I could go back to Davis to actually have the baby, but that really isn't practical.

Now we have to decide between the hospital 6 blocks away from the new apartment or the one 20 minutes away. The one 20 minutes away is the doctor's preferred hospital, and apparently more likely to have private recovery rooms. We've also already had one questionable experience with the close hospital.

Baby is really getting quite uncomfortably high inside my rib cage. Hopefully she'll drop soon.

In a few hours, we'll officially be moved out of corporate housing and into the new apartment. I'll be sending out an email with our new contact info once phone service is working there. Leave a comment (with your email address, if I don't have it already) if you need it and aren't a member of my immediate family.

As far as labor, dandelion_diva had just under 24 hours of labor. Sam was already 3 weeks late, and they decided to induce. Several hours in, dandelion_diva opted for something to take the edge off the pain. That only made her hallucinate slightly :) Finally opted for the epidural. She slept for quite some time and delivered Sam at 7:39am the next day.

Anyway, the moral is that it might take longer than you expect :)
