I'm having a bit of deja vu. Beth had a doctor's appointment at 11:30 this morning. I had to get a meeting at work rescheduled so I could go with her, and as it turns out I never made it back for the meeting anyway. Her blood pressure was just about through the roof, so the doctor measured it a few more times, then sent her over to Lutheran Hospital for them to monitor it for a few hours. Unless she was lying on her left side, it wouldn't come down. So, the doctor's decision was, we're having a baby tomorrow. She's still at the hospital. I had to run home to get Alex (we left him with friends today) and pick up all the things she needs for the stay. My mom was planning on coming out to help with Alex while Beth was in the hospital, but she wasn't planning on coming so soon. (Mom, we have a date for the baby! Oh good! When is it? Tomorrow. Tomorrow?) So she called the airline and did some fanagaling, and will be here tomorrow. In the meantime, I'm going to make a lot of trips between Fort Wayne and here.
