Friday 10 November ... Dan is at work, madly trying to get everything done before his desk is packed up and moved to a new location downstairs. Roz finally manages to see our Obstetrician who has had a massive week even delivering up to 5 babys in one day.
"You are 4cm dialiated and fully engaged, do you want me to induce you now?" he asks.
Thankfully for Dan, Roz does say no, even though she is well and trying ready to give birth ...
Our Doctor books Roz in to be induced on Sunday at 6pm and Dan heads off to the Pearl Jam Concert that he bought tickets for before he even knew the baby was coming. (And what a concert! Pearl Jam Rocked and their last encore set they played 6 songs, 4 of which Dan had been waiting to hear since going to the first show more than 10 years ago!)
