Taking a breath

We talked with our agency last night and they said the mother has been having contractions, but has not been progressing.  She is not in the hospital at this time.  The doctor has decided to wait until Sunday and then induce her.  We still need to be all packed and ready to go in case her labor progresses naturally.  It is nice to know that this will be happening soon and yet not feel quite as rushed.  The agency we are working with is located in northern Utah (about 8 hours away) and we will be driving.  Today we will be relaxing a little by getting together with some friends and then I need to go buy a new infant car seat.  We were warned last night the hospital often inspects car seats and requires that they be under 5 years or they will not release the baby.
