he's coming

Well were in the hospital now with some regular contractions. More info and pics to follow.

-Stephanie here, its about 4am. My water broke about 11:20 last night. Kind of a strange event, you know your baby is on the way, but you aren't having any contractions. We arrived at the hospital and got settled into our room by midnight. I've been resting my eyes since then. I figure I'm not going to get any kind of rest for the next couple of years at the least so I'll take what I can get. The contractions are starting to get closer together and more painful, but we still have a ways to go.

I keep thinking about those in the Bible who endured lots of pain without the satisfaction of having a baby at the end. Job comes to mind... covered in boils from head to toe, and the many other non-physical things he had to endure. Although Job is a tough one because I can't recall a song about him that I can sing through the contractions. There are songs about Jonah, Daniel, Zacheaus, Joshua & the battle of Jericho & even David & Golith- but they didn't the physical pain. The one song that continues to come to mind however is based on the verse "I can do all things through Christ who strengthenth me!" Phil 4:13

Well, that's all for now. We are unable to get on facebook for some reason so we'll be sure to keep this updated.
