The story begins in the middle of the night on Wednesday. I woke-up about 2:30am to my water starting to break. Brian told me to try and go back to sleep, but I couldn't. Soon we both ended up out in the family room watching tv and then about an hour later decided that we should head to the hospital. We showered, packed our bags, got some breakfast, and headed to the hospital.

The day at the hospital was a long one, but I had the company of lots of friends and family. Heather and David were even able to there all the way from Ohio.
