Well, it finally happened! Wendy was feeling pretty lousy all day Friday, but not sure if it was labor or something else. We went to the "kiddie pool" (which is a finger off the Gulf) with Coleman and spent several hours there. When we came home, Wendy tried to take a nap, without much success. She started telling me that she was having contractions around 5:00, but she didn't want to get excited, because it might be false labor. We counted contractions, and they were pretty sporadic. About 6:00, we had some dinner, and continued to monitor her. She decided to go take a shower, and found that the bath really eased the pain. By 7:30 we were sure that this was it. Finally, at 8:00, they left for the hospital, Wendy's water had broken, and it is half and hour away. They got to the hospital, the doctor said, "You're ready to push," she pushed 3 times, and Ruby was born. That's a little too close for me, but what a trooper!

Yay for Ruby! Yay for Wendy! Congrats on #7 - she is a doll!
Congrats! She looks very cute! Tell Wendy HI for me!
What a cutie! Not just the baby, but Wendy as well. Congrats to all! We missed you at dinner last night, Becky.
That's the way to have a baby! Congratulations!
I wish SO hard I could have been there. Ruby Jane is so beautiful- I can't wait to see ehr in real life- though I don't know when that will be. The story is amazing- just imagine if she talked Jesse into staying a bit longer- crazy!
