Part 5 January 1987
Amanda sat in Dr. Evens exam room watching her husband pace. “Lee will you please stop pacing you’re making me dizzy.”
“Sorry, I just wish she would hurry up. I want to know if something is wrong. Our baby should have come out by now.”
“Oh, Sweetheart I’m only two day’s late. Nothing to worry about.” She smiled while rubbing her very large tummy. “I want him out just as much as you do. He's getting very heavy.”
A knock on the door made them both jump. “Amanda, how are you today?” Dr. Evens asked walking into the room. “Lee, nice to see you again.”
“Fine, other then fat and I feel like I could pop at any minute.” Amanda groaned
“Well let’s check you and see if there is anything going on.” She smiled.
After examining her and letting Amanda sit back up and get comfortable. “Okay you’re only at 2 centimeters, but almost 100 percent effaced. I want to induce your labor. Let me go check my calendar and see when I can get you into the hospital.” Dr. Evens said before exiting the exam room.
Lee looked at his wife for a second before speaking. “Are you okay with this, will the baby be okay.”
“Yeah.” She sighed. “If this means getting this little boy out of me then I’m all for it. Don’t get me wrong, I love our little boy, but he is killing my back. I’m tired of going to the bathroom every five minutes.”
Dr. Evens came back into the room, “okay I have everything set up. Wednesday, be at the hospital at 7 a.m. at the materity ward. All you have to do is give them your name and they will take care of the rest. I’ll start inducing at 8:00 so hopefully you will have your baby sometime after that.” She smiled
“Thanks, Doc.” Lee said.
“Okay then. I’ll see you day after tomorrow, then.” She said while walking out of the room.
