WE HAVE A LITTLE ONE!!!!!
Little Jon was born at 2:33 PM and weighed in at 8 lbs and 6 0unces. The head is 14 inches around and he is 20-1/2 inches long.
Mother is doing great and so is the little fella.
God was very good to us. This was not an all day deal. I have been amazed (though I shouldn’t be) about how smoothly all of this went for Tracy. She was able to rest and was not sitting at 5 cm at 6 PM as usual.
It was all very good.
I got to help deliver and that was one of the most thrilling moments of my life. Thank you God for my wife and my children. You have been very good to me.
Absolutely Thrilled,
Paul

God is making this a radical thing! Tracy is at 7-8 cm and everything is going great! The doctor came in and let us know that he is excited to see how things are progressing.
Tracy is happy and I am happy.
With a smile…

After the doctor checked, we are at 5 cm and -2 station. That is awesome. Praise God!! This is a new one for Tracy. She normally takes nine to ten hours just to get to this point! I believe that the epidural letting her rest has made all the difference.
The doctor has asked me if I would be interested in ‘catching’ the baby. Tracy and I looked at each other and smiled. This is something that the two of us have wanted to see happen for a long time. I know that it might not happen, but just thinking that helping to deliver him is a possibility is very exciting for Tracy and I.
There has been an issue with Tracy’s temperature. She is running about 2 degrees higher than normal and I am just asking everyone to be in prayer about this. Right now there is minimal concern. I am just asking for prayer that it would continue to be a minor blip on the radar screen and then go away…
Overall this has been a fantastic journey today thus far. Tracy is in good spirits and anxiously awaiting the arrival of our little one.
Patiently Waiting…

Tracy is sleeping now. The epidural has made it possible for her to relax. This is actually a good thing. She tends to progress much faster when she is not tense. I look forward to a doctor visit in the room so we can get an idea of where we are.
Till I know more…

Tracy is up to 3 cm. Mother and baby are fine. The doctor has said that Tracy is doing great and hopefully this will not be an ‘all day’ delivery.
Tracy is going to try and do the epidural at 9:30 AM to enable Tracy to relax and make the labor less stressful for her.
The doctor prayed with us this morning and that is always refreshing. I wish that all dealings with medical professionals started off with prayer. It is refreshing to know that doctors have an understanding that they are just a piece of God’s workings in the healing process.
More information will come as we know.

Out of the gate! This is Paul. I am Tracy’s husband. I will be delivering updates via this posting today.
As of right now, water has been broken and the pit drip has been started. We are at 1.5 cm and -3 station. Tracy has been a little sick this morning but hopefully that has passed and will make way for an uneventful arrival of the little fellow.
I will update as quickly as information changes…
For Tracy,
Paul

4:30 AM;
Good Morning! After a long and wonderful holiday with my family, I’m so excited that today is the day I will get to meet my new little one.
We will be leaving for the hospital in a short bit. I’ll try to check back in after we are settled in there.
Until then, please keep us in your prayers (see prayer requests on the baby blog located on the right tool bar) today.
…and thank you all who have prayed for us and sent such encouraging notes over the last several months. You mean so much to me…
With my love,
Tracy
