Beautiful Medea, my oldest grandson Ian's wife, entered the hospital this afternoon for labor and delivery of their first child. They already know he's a boy, and they've already named him Lennox, a proud Scottish name. He just has to show up is all. Lennox is not due for another 8 days or so, but Medea's amniotic fluid is low, thanks to her having had the flu last week, so out he comes. He's not in any distress, last I heard, but they are all being very cautious. Cathy's niece Suzanne (Zannie) is a nurse-midwife, and she says it's common to induce labor when the fluid is low. Ian, Medea, and Penny, Medea's mom, who is a P.A., all discussed this last night, and they decided to take it one step at a time. Since the fluid was even lower this morning than it was yesterday, they asked the doctor to induce labor. If at any point there's a need to speed things up, they have asked for a c-section.
That's as much as I know now. Holding everyone in the light!!!
Wow! Big snow here today to make the world all clean for a new baby. Hurray! The D.N.

ReplyDeleteSo exciting and nerve-racking, all at the same time! Keeping them all in the light as little Lennox comes into the light himself.
