The midwife took a while to get here, but Amy was in such pain that we got the epidural going. It didn't take too long and now she feels fine. She's was actually talking on her cell with her brother a minute ago. The midwife has just broken her water and checked her dialation. She's now a 6! I don't know what that really means, other than those painful contractions actually did something (6 cm as opposed to 1 cm Amy's been at for like 2 weeks!). The next best news is that she's no longer in pain. Anathesia is pricey, but seeing your wife no longer in pain: priceless. The next best news after that: the midwife and doctor think the baby will be here before lunch time. I'm thinking they meant Easter Standard Time.

Wonderful news, Geoff! When Amy's to 10 cm. the baby can come. w00t! Praying. G
If she hurries, we can catch the late afternoon tides! :)
God bless you both...
Now Amy's mom is in the room, and the two are having a great time. Man, what a difference 40 minutes makes! Thanks for your prayers.
Praying for the three of you! I'm so excited to find out if that baby is a boy or a girl! Loving the blog updates while you are in the hospital!

We also are checking here frequently and glad for each little piece of news. (Yay! for modern technology that allows this.) Continuing to pray for all of you as we await the big announcement.
Thinking of you, praying for you. . .
