Ugh...

Okay... try to follow me here...

Our birth mom showed up at the hospital today, ready to be induced. She misunderstood the doctor last week, so she thought he told her to come in if she didn't have the baby by Wednesday and they'd induce her.

The baby is totally healthy- a little over 7lbs- and doing really well. She is still not ready to be induced/give birth, so they sent her home.

They told her that if she does not come in on her own by Monday morning, they will induce her on Monday morning at 9am.

She is so upset. She is probably embarrassed that she got confused. But she's upset because she thought the baby would've been born by June 3rd- and it keeps being pushed back. She is hot, tired, and uncomfortable.

I don't understand how doctors can be so misleading to her. I know she is young, but she's been through this twice before- I don't think she's ignorant. I feel so bad for her and I'm also starting to feel angry/anxious because of the lack of care/instruction she's getting.

It is not our birth mom's fault that we have been misinformed. I'm sure she has been misunderstanding things a lot. Plus, it goes from Birth Mom- to her case worker, to our adoption worker, then to us. So it's sort of like playing the game "telephone." Ugh. Not fun.

Please keep praying. Pray that he comes soon (even tonight would be good!) so she can feel comfortable again. And continue to pray for her courage with following through with the adoption plan.

Until then... I'm annoyed. :/
