Great Day to be Alive

8/19 that is. We had our appointment this morning and Dr. Howard said it was good that we gave her a week to come on her own, but it is now time to bring her into this world with some help. We are inducing this week. It was a little weird to schedule our daughter's birthdate. It was between Wed 8/18, Thur 8/19 and Fri 8/20. Uncle Tripper has a work trip on the 18th and I don't love the on-call doctor so that was out. Thursday is a great date and so is Friday. The on-call doctor for Thursday is Dr. Michael Scott, and we are fans of The Office. We thought that was fitting in some way.

Katelyn ______ Allen will be induced beginning Wed evening. Katelyn will be born on 8/19 one way or the other (the Wed evening drug sometimes causes labor so she has a slight chance of an 8/18 birthday).

We can't wait to meet you. We love you so much already!

  1. Oh boy! Good luck to you!! We were on the "come in the evening" for induction plan. It was not such a restful evening- but Mackenzie arrived, as planned, the following day! August 19th. Love the date. Tht is the day that Pat proposed to me... :) We wish you & Scott all the best- and look forward to seeing all THREE of you soon!

  2. I heard somewhere that only 5% of all babies are actually born on their due date. But since we have always been planning on the the 19th, I think it's fitting! Can't wait to meet you baby girl. Be nice to your mommy tomorrow!
