You can take that last post and.....

We saw that doctor today.
He said that Courtney was very close to labor and that this baby would be here soon. Being that we have none of the supposed intestinal fortitude we once required of ourselves, we set an induction date of Friday....That's right, three days from now Friday. Is the baby too big? Nope. Is he past his due date? Not at all. Are his parents incredibly impatient people who can't live like this any longer or this child will have one less sibling or no father? Bingo...
That's right, expediency. We just can't wait. And we're o.k. with that.
So there is an end in sight. I don't think that the doctor believes we will even make it to Friday, but I'm glad he gave us a deadline. We are elated to know that by the time the Sooners kick off in Eugene, our little watch party will have an addition.
Dr. Ryan said that if they were to have a major influx of patients at the hospital on Thurs. PM, then we may get bumped to Saturday, as we may be able to wait, and we can't quite tell mothers in labor to take a break from birth so we can have a convenient Friday morning induction. (See there, we are good sports) Interestingly, though, he told me that if we were to need to wait until Saturday, we would need to come in about 5am, so that this baby could be born by noon. His exact medical terminology for this necessity was, "Many things will happen on Saturday, but I will not be delivering any baby after 2:30 (which happens to also be the kickoff time, coincidentally)."
This, friends, is what good insurance pays for.
