The baby is coming!
It's true, and we are on our way to Temple!
EDIT: 9am - Becca is having a hard time. Her pains started 2 days ago. She went to the hospital yesterday at 11 am, and they sent her home. Her OB appt was at 4, and by then she was at 3cm and still hurting really bad. He was upset the hospital had sent her home and gave them a few words (he is the head of OB at the hospital - score: Becca 10, hospital 0! :-) By the time she got back, they had her room ready.
So that was 5 pm. She got her epidural shortly afterward. It had worn off by the time we got there at 11 pm. We arrived to tears :(.
On top of all this she has a uterine infection. That's part of the reason she hurts so much. They finally broke her water at 1am. They didn't want the baby swimming in it any longer. And pitossin sure wasn't working. At 2am she was still 3cm, so we opted to go get some rest.
9am- I just woke up. The word is her epidural wore off again! The anest. put it in higher now and she is sleeping comfortably. She is at 6cm, and now they said the baby is face up which means back labor!
Pray for Becca (and Jonathan) that things will start progressing quicker. She even exercised every day while pregnant, so she was expecting better. Also pray she doesn't have to have a c-section which is a possibiity because of the infection. The baby is still okay right now.

Praying as you travel, and for your sister & family! What perfect timing (the weekend!) so you could go see them!
Tell Becca & Jonathan that Clay and i are thinking of them. We can't wait to see pictures.
