have opened. It’s 3:50AM. I think my water broke a little before 3:20. I’ve called our Doula and the Midwife on-call. They both think my water broke. I am 37w5d. Not much else to say, we’re off to shower, pack the bag and wait…

This is the first blog I started reading when I began my ttc journey and you were just finding out you were pregnant. Hopefully by now – you have welcomed a little one into the world.

Hi!
How wonderful, and very coincidental! I hope every little thing goes well, and that it’s not too painful…(It’s a) good thing you have a wonderful and supportive partner. May all good, wonderful, spectacular, etc. blessings flood your lives, now, and in the years that follow.
Even though this may seem trivial to you, today marks the birth of (my) Niece N., Nephew A., and Niece-By-Law Chrissy. I think it’s quite the coincidence, especially since it’s also Elvis Pressly’s birthday, too. (That’s) Pretty neat, eh?
Sending Many Blessings Your Way…

Hi! (So wonderful, exciting, spectacular, and…
very, glad everyone is doing well, but WHAT IS THE GENDER, a boy, or a girl? Anticipation is making me wait, and it’s too much! Spill the beans, so to speak!)

Oh, yeah, to Renee and Janice,
