Dress Rehearsal

Did I say Emma was coming?

Sorry. False labor. Keep Joy in your prayers. As you may or may not know, Aiden's birth was very difficult (induction because Joy was sick and her body wasn't ready; responded very harshly at first to induction. It took forever). I know it was especially disheartening for her to have contractions 5 mins apart for almost 3 hours and have them vanish in the hospital elevator!

So, pray. Pray, pray, pray. Pray for really painful, really obvious, really no turning back contractions that will bring this little girl into the world. To be honest, Joy isn't feeling great (physically) either right now. And nobody, especially my beautiful wife, wants a repeat of Aiden's birth and a trip back just because Joy is sick.

Thanks for your prayers and thanks especially for Lori, Rick and Katie who have stepped up like surrogate parents and true friends to care for Aiden and Herschel.

Hope to talk to you soon with happy news. We'll keep you posted.

Love,
Daniel

Let's say strong, definite ( yet manageable) put-your-money-on-the-timing contractions - :-). They're coming; I promise! I hope Joy's feeling better and better; prayer works! Thanks from me, too, to Lori, Rick and all helping and ministering hands.
