I know this is a month late, but at least I am posting :) So basically on August 24th my water broke at 3 a.m. and we went to Labor and Delivery. I was dilated to a 4 1/2 so they admitted me. They said I wouldn't deliver until 5 or 6 that night. Then they checked me at 8 a.m. and I was at an 8, but they still said it would be 1 or 2 before I delivered. They checked me again at 10 and I was at a 10, but the baby wasn't down far enough so we did rest and descend. About an hour later the baby's head was there and we were ready. Except for the fact that Josh had run over to the college to talk to his professor to get the syllabus from him since it was the first day of school, and the dr wasn't there either. So they said we could wait a little while, but then came back a few minutes later saying we couldn't wait any more. The baby seemed to be going into distress. The nurse rubbed her head a little and it seemed to make her do better. Right then our Dr and Josh got there. It took about 3 or 4 contractions, and she was out! We are so happy to have her here and can't imagine life without her.

Congratulations to all three of you! How wonderful! She is so precious! I have your baby present to send to you and I can't believe that it has been a month already. I will try to get that into the mail in the next few days! We are very happy for your little family!
