Induction is the poo.
No surprises, no 3 in the morning drives to the hospital.
One baby please, 10 o'clock tee time. Alex was out in about 4 hours.

We had a 630, but got pushed to 10. All depends on how busy the walk-ins are.

Heather was induced with our first. They wanted us there at 12:01am, and gave strict instructions not to be there at 11:45pm to make sure it was after Midnight. I later asked the Dr. why. He said it was so the hospital couldn't charge us for a full day. Appearently, if your there at 11:45pm and they admit you, you're charged for an entire day. Doc thought is was a crock and tells all of his patients that he induces to be there at 12:01. He said, "You get the most bang for your buck that way.".........I was surprised.

OK guys, I have a big decision to make and it is not going to be easy...so I look upon you all for some insight, input and just smart ass remarks. The agency that I work for is really in a budget crisis and they are not filling any vacant positions as people quit or retire. This has more then doubled my current work load and I have not got paid a cent more. I have spoke to supervisors about getting a promotion, but all I have heard over the past few years is"budget this, budget that". I have even approached them and asked if I had pissed someone off or been branded within the agency, and they all say that I am a stellar employee and do a great job. NOW, I have an opportunity to leave the state and move one state over (Kansas) and basically be doing exactly what I have been doing for years, but this comes with a promotion, more pay and a possibility for another large promotion within a year or so. I think I would be a fool to not try and persue that job, but my problem lies with my wife liking where we are currently living and her family is only 30 minutes away. I have been farming with her family for 10 years and it has its ups and downs, but I think this is the time to go. I also want more for my child then what is offered in the rural community that we currently reside in. Wifey says she will move with me, but I can see her being unhappy anywhere but in her parents back yard.......what d ya all think????? I am stressed to the limit about this......
That's a rock and a hard place.
I can understand the farming aspect, I moved off the family farm 20 years ago. I've got no real desire to keep on it personally, my brother is more than welcome to it (although I do help out when I can.)
Never any easy decisions to be made like this.

The farming part has a whole can of worms with it. My fater in law, my wife and I do almost every bit of work around there (all 3000+ acres of it), but she has a brother and sister that dont ever come around unless it is pay day at the farm. So why am I busting my ass for my wife to get the same cut as her lazy brother and sister, not to mention that the family has said that the farm will be split evenly between the 3 kids....I look at it as we are just securing her brother and sisters inheritance. I think the move would do us good to "cut the apron strings" from her family. Inlaws are good people, but just a bit to close and in our business for my likings. Hell, we are in our early 30's and have a 18 month old child, I think it is the prime time to try and take advantage of a new job...the wifey is a school teahcer and could fine employment in any town that we would move to.......and there is some good wheeling in that new area too! 
I wish I had a penny for each time I've heard that story. Unfortunately, I can see both sides. Your in-laws are really trying to do the right thing by providing for their entire family. It doesn't look fair to your wife & you.
Frankly, it's more up to your wife & you, than anybody else. If you've got concerns about the farm, I'd encourage you & the wife to talk to the in-laws. I wouldn't involve her brother & sister, that would just create bad feelings at this point, I suspect.
In my case, my bro is more than welcome to the family farm. He's got the interest in running it, and that makes him entitled to it. I'll help out, but I'm not a farmer at heart. I don't consider myself to really have any entitlement to it.

I lived in SW KS for 3 years...now that is some major suckage. SE KS is where this job is located and it might as well be SW MO b/c it is actually not flat in the bordering counties. Some good retired quarries for wheelin and SW MO/NW AR has some sweet wheeling. Looking at if I get the job living in SW MO and driving to teh office in KS, it is like a 20 minute drive.
And Jeff, I know where your coming from. Many discussions and they always end with a lot of loose ends and no answers from the in-laws. I think it is time to cut chase and move on. My grandfather always told me to not expect anything that you did not earn, and that if someone only gives you one cent, it is one cent that you did not have before......
