Well, today is a big day!! Not only is today Grandpa Ambuel's birthday but it is also going to be my baby brother's birthday. Mom left for the hospital at 3:30 AM. At 5:33AM she received the epidural. She is really happy now. The contractions were hitting constantly way to early and the baby was complaining about being constantly squeezed. So the doctor decided they had to slow things down. It won't be long now...stay tuned.
