oh baby baby!

it's go time people! baby rue is on her way! what an amazing day... i can't describe how wonderful it is to anticipate her arrival... holding her for the first time... seeing d's reaction... and most importantly learning this little one's name!!!

4:27am - "we are at the hospital; but it will probably be awhile. ashley's water broke though." -kelly

8:40am - "water broke late last night went to the hospital at 3. she will be here sometime today"-ashley

8:50am - phone conversation with ashley to get the details! her water broke at 8pm thurs evening. ash and kelly got to the hospital around 3:30am and after a few tests it was confirmed that her water did break. ash sounds normal on the phone despite being in labor and being hooked up to many machines - she is awesome! we joked about how having your water break is not such a pleasant experience... i laughed and told her that there will be many things like that today. :)

9 am - made phone calls to crew to share the news. d got to talk to em and told her, "ashley's baby is coming. her water broke at 10." we all can't wait!!!

10:09am - "so excited!" -john

11:24am - "thanks, mer! can't wait!" -rachie

2pm - excited phone message from jen saying keep her updated!

2:15pm - phone call with kelly - ash has epidural and contractions are being monitored. the doctor had to rotate the baby and ash is getting potosin to enduse labor. there is the possibility of c-section delivery by 8pm tonight. hoping this litlle one arrives sooner than that.

more updates to come!
