First of all....May 24, 2010 has to be a day in the history books for snow so late in May.
What the heck!
We just came back from Chicago to see our new grandbaby and here she is...
Sorry, we didn't get to see her either. She is staying in the womb for some extra beauty sleep. I know that when the time is right and she arrives, she is going to be beautiful! Maybe she is staying to grow extra freckles.

I flew into Chicago on Tuesday, then Tiff and I spent Wednesday shopping. What are girls suppose to do. We picked up some last minute items for the baby. Baby J is now ready for the pool - hat, skin top, swimming suit, high top keds. We couldn't find flip flops little enough.

Then Thurs we packed and took apart furniture to get ready for the relocation to Tulsa. Thursday was my birthday so Tiffany, Rob, Diana, Jason and myself went to Joy Lee for dinner. Delicious Korean food in Chicago. A great birthday treat, hang out with Tiff and Joy Lee's for dinner. We picked Kevin up at the airport Thursday night. Now we are ready for Friday. Friday was the day to be induced and we would have a baby to cuddle, kiss and adore.

Or so we thought!

Baby J had other ideas. They induced Tiffany about 10:00 a.m. and by 4:00 p.m she had not dilated any more and the contractions were small. She could talk through them. So the pitosin was stopped. Meanwhile, during the day, Kevin and I did not want to irritate the Mother and Father by counting the seconds, so we took a road trip to Wisconsin to the Harley Davidson musuem. This was cool!
Tiffany and Rob stayed the night in the hospital to try again in the morning. Saturday, yes, this is it. At 5:00 a.m. they started the pitosin again, but by 1:00 p.m. there wasn't any change. So they turned it off and she was sent home. We spent a lovely day Sunday visiting with Tiffany and Rob then flew home. As of Monday morning, Tiff has been to see the Doctor and we have gone to plan B. Baby will be Born when the planets are in alignment. When this snow storm arrives in Chicago. When she is dang good and ready. Patience is a hard virtue!

So will they wait to have the baby after they move then? You already know how I feel about induction. I'm proud of the hospital and Tiff for not pushing things when they aren't ready!

They will be staying in Chicago until the baby comes and then move to Tulsa. We are still moving their furniture, but it may be without them. Babies are so unpredictable! Tiff has her plan that she gave to the nurses and they were 100% behind her. She has a good hospital.
