A quick update: My doctor couldn't find any medical reason to induce me two weeks early, and she's out of town for the next 11 days. So my set induction is June 2nd. Two days early! Woo-hoo.
But I'm okay with it. The only reason I wanted to be induced this week is because she's traveling out of town next week. And I am in pain. But I can do this. It will give me more time to mentally prepare for the baby, since I can't really do much physically.
Yesterday I had a long OB appointment and asked one of my friends, Anna, to watch my boys. She called and asked if she could do it at my house because it looked like rain and she didn't want her dogs out in the rain. I said that worked great. It turned out to be a very sunny afternoon, but I didn't think anything of it. Until I got home and found my entire house sparkling clean and dinner ready in the fridge. Anna snuck my two visiting teachers, Melissa and Leah, into my house and they all cleaned the whole thing and made me dinner. I was freaking out like I was on candid camera or something. I couldn't believe it. I was so incredibly grateful and touched. Thank you guys so much!
My last big update is that we have decided on a name for this little guy:
Tate Jakob
I have always loved Tate and it has grown on Jakob this pregnancy. Once we were really considering it, we started calling the baby Tater Tot around the boys and they really liked that. They have been calling him Tater Tot and are very excited that out of Tater Tot has come Tate. :)

About Me
My favorite high school class was "Keyboarding".
My favorite college class was "Basketweaving".
I don't like to return things to the store because I feel like the employees are mad at me.
I set up my high school English teacher and one of my dad's single friends on a blind date. They dated for three years.
I love the rain and overcast skies.
I collect miniature trinkets.
I am horrible at small talk, even though life has given me plenty of opportunities for improvement.
I am obsessed with my children's feet. I often hear them saying, "Mom, please stop staring at my feet."
I like to sit down.
I like to be alone.
I like to pinch people's buns.
Showering is really, really hard for me.
I want my last meal to be chicken lo mein and chocolate milk, with an oreo shake hand-mixed by Jakob for dessert. So he better not die first.
I have white-trash tendencies.
It takes me anywhere from 30-60 minutes to fall asleep at night.
When I was little, my pretend name was always Lisa.
I get a little nauseous whenever I see men or boys with long fingernails.
I bruise easily.
I don't like to talk on the telephone or to drive.
My favorite place to be is my bed.
I will be a Broadway star in heaven.
My favorite color to wear is black.
I get a perm every year to make my hair thicker.
I wax my nose hairs.
I don't like to clean, but I do like to organize.
My favorite part of my job is when my kids sing and/or dance with me.
My least favorite part of my job is anything that has to do with food.
I had both the names "Channing" and "Tatum" on my "Baby Girl Names" list before the movie "Step Up" even came out.

That sounds amazing! What good VTers and friends you have. I love the name and am so excited to meet this little one. Let me know if you need anything (I feel safe saying this since your house has just been cleaned) :)
What a great post! I love all the good news! Your friends sound so wonderful and I LOVE the name!
I am sorry! I hope you go into labor the day your doctor is back in the office. If that doesn't happen at least June 2 is an even number. Good luck! It was so GREAT to see you.
I left another comment asking about when you were going to have baby Tate...I guess I just needed to scroll down a bit to find out.
Ah ha--so Leah must have wanted me to watch her girls while she cleaned your house. Unfortunately, I wasn't available when she called, but how nice of them!
I love the name Tate by the way. Ryan's not too into it, so don't worry we won't be copying you for our third boy (which is sure to come, right?). Good thing since we already copied you with Luke!
And like I said the other day, I'd be happy to help you get addicted to running. You can, you really can!
You guessed it Lindsay. =) It worked out just fine. And I'm glad that we were able to make your day Mindy! =)
Tate is a cute name. I can't wait to see how cute this little guy is going to be too!!!!! I'm so jealous. Having 4 boys would ROCK!!
Tater Tot is the perfect nickname for a little boy named Tate. So cute! And what good VT's you have!
