Here we go…

Look at our Daily Goals

Happy Christmas in July Everyone.

So this morning 7.25.09 – my girls woke up and I had turned our home into a Christmas place.  I put christmas lights up all over – and an animated reindeer in the livingroom for us to celebrate.  So in all of this – Jadyn looks at Ashley and I and said “Eli’s coming today”.  Well she was right

Ashley had been up since midnight basically having some pretty bad contractions.  However – we’ve been wondering for a while since the contractions have been going on for about a week or so.  But they got really bad this morning – so after our Christmas Breakfast – I called the Dr’s office and talked to a charming DR named “Dr Love”.  I thought for a minute I was suddenly in an episode of Greys Anatomy.  Dr Love was awesome and said “hey – come on in – we’ll check her out – and lets have a baby today”.  This sounded like a great idea.  So we came on into the hospital (after turning off the Christmas lights and the reindeer) and the journey had started.  We got here pretty quickly (thank the lord for our new home being super close to everything) and the nurses got us into triage and started checking us out.  THEN – in walks DR Love.  now – let me just say – usually at this point you wait for a long time for someone to actually come in and check you.  Dr Love – rocks.  He was in like 4 minutes after we got here.  Checked Ashley out – and admitted us right away.  YAY.  We praised the Lord…  and it was wonderful.

So they broke Ashleys water about 1:30pm and then gave her an epidural for the pain about 3:30pm.  So – now we wait.  Ashley is nice and comfortable…people that do this naturally (without the epidural) are in my humble opinion…nuts.

So now we are waiting – i’ll continue to keep things posted on here…along with pictures and all the wonderful joy of a new baby.

Please keep Ashley and the baby in your prayers.  Pray for strength and an easy delivery for Ashley – and a beautiful healthy baby boy to be born…SOON.

Much Love

JImmy  and Ashley
