Doctor / Timing Concerns

msjorjeI had been worried about having Sasha arrive while our doctor is in town. I see him today and was hoping he'd set me for induction on... Thursday would be good. He leaves town on Friday, so that should get us in the clear.
Then last night it occurred to me... our doctor is also our pediatrician. So if I have her Thursday, and doc is out of town Friday and Saturday... Ugh! I want him there for me AND for her!
I didn't want to rush into having her today. Perhaps he'd strip my membranes again and set up the back up plan just in case. This makes me want to maybe wait until next week, but he wanted her a week early, plus if we wait... I'm sure I'll be paranoid all weekend that I'll finally go into labor while my doctor is gone. He has a couple of docs that cover for him while he is out of town and I'm sure they're perfectly capable, but they're not MY doctor! Sigh.
I need to remember to discuss these concerns with him at my appointment today.
