In Labor! :)

This is Rob, Jenell's husband. As the title states, we are in the maternity ward now, and Jen is in labor. I am sitting here by her side, and she is doing so great! She has asked me to update the blog every so often to let y'all know the play-by-play, so stay tuned...
Contractions started at 5;30 am this morning, and we made it to the hospital around 7:30 am, through rush hour traffic. Jen's water broke around 8 am, and contractions have been getting more frequent and painful; but Jen is a tough cookie. Her/our plan is to birth naturally, so your prayers for strength and pain relief are much appreciated :)
More to come soon...
Rob
