Just a few more hours!

I jokingly told Rachael a couple of weeks ago that I thought April Fool's Day would be a fun day to have birthday parties. I guess be careful what you wish for. Our little girl will be delivered by Cesarean in a couple of hours. I'm sure Rachael will write about all the details later but here's what has been going on...

28 hours after being induced and 12 hours of really painful contractions, last night at midnight,  we decided to get Rachael an epidural so she could rest. It was the right thing to do. This morning we got a check up and we're still no further along. Rachael's water broke yesterday at 1 PM and once that happens they don't like to let you go more than 24 hours. So we've decided to go with the Cesarean. Rachael and Baby have been doing great and have had steady heart rates through it all. Please continue to keep us in your prayers and we will welcome our beautiful Lucy in a couple of hours.
