Great first night

Little Gaines is such a sweetheart and I am so OVERJOYED! I can hardly believe it after all these years! I\'m having trouble getting pics to load on here but I will keep trying. Thanks again for all the love and prayers. Our little monkey just doesn\'t even have a clue how much he is loved!

This is Ashley posting for Heather. Just wanted to share this picture we have been waiting to see for a long long time.

Just turned down her epidural so she could feel the urge to push more.

what awesome friends!

They are all eating lunch together to wait on baby Gaines! I miss my girls!!!

still no baby

They haven\'t been in to check her in almost 2 hours. She is sleeping pretty good right now. The epidural helped her a lot. This is so surreal!

:)

Getting closer now. F is pretty comfortable from the epidural. Trying out a picture so I\'ll be ready!

She is now at 7 to 8 centimeters. Moving right along.

She has had an epidural so she is not in any pain right now. :) She IS itching like crazy!

Still at 6 or a little more.

Just broke her water.

6 cm. Lots of pain. Wish I could make if better for her.

4 cm!

We are at the hotel for the night. She was given an ambien to get some rest. We will go back bright and early in the morning. ;)

All checked in

F is checked in and has had cervidil. They will give her an ambien so she can rest tonight. They will start pitocin first thing in the morning. She is very nervous but the nurses and doctors are great. She is such a sweetheart. I go back and forth between being so excited to being so nervous for her! I hope she has a very easy labor. Keep the prayers coming!

We are at the hospital! She is very very nervous. Pray for her!

Bursting with excitement!

Stan and I are just killing time until time to take F to the hospital. She will go in tonight at 7. At that time, they will give her medicine to soften her cervix. Induction will not actually take place until tomorrow morning! We cannot wait!

Please pray for an easy delivery for her and that she has peace about her decision. She is very scared about the birth...understandably so!

I will be posting most updates on here and pics whe he's born.

As Candace said, this is our last day as a family of 2!!!!

Ready to take F out for dinner. Can't wait to see her and her tummy! ;)

Heading North

Stan and I are on the road to Michigan. It's a beautiful day to be traveling and the truck is loaded to the brim! I cannot wait to meet our SON! So excited!

:)

I will be using his blog to keep everyone updated on us while in Michigan. Please pray for us!
