Well, something is happening...
About 1:30 p.m. this afternoon, my water broke. That has never happened to me before, since with my other pregnancies, my water didn't break until the doctor or midwife broke it right before I started pushing.
I talked with the midwife on call (Barbara), and she said I can wait at home for a few hours to see if the contractions increase...which is exactly what I wanted to hear since I don't like spending hours and hours in the hospital before birth. So it's still technically a waiting game, but with the end so much closer!
To say my adrenaline is running high is quite the understatement!!!
I'm off to take a shower...one of those pre-going-to-the-hospital rituals that I always seem to follow. :)

Just to let all of you bloggers know that Tobin Ezra Fisher was born approx. 6:30 p.m. This is a proud grandpa reporting. Grandma and Jeff was in attendance and I am the babysitter. God is so good. This was the best time for me to babysit. Harold Huffman
YAY!!!! Welcome baby Tobin!! We can't wait to meet you! Congratulations Jeff and Davene. Our prayers are with you! He was born exactly 4 weeks after Elissa! That was a pretty fast labor!!
Congratulations, Fisher family! This is SOOOOOOOO exciting! I have known only one other Tobin. What a great name :-) Our love to all of you. Way to go, Grandpa, for being the faithful babysitter so that Grandma could be with Jeff and Davene. We were praying for you, too! What a memory you have made with your grandsons, I'm sure!
Congratulations Davene! I am so excited for you! Can't wait to see a pic of baby Tobin! :)
AHHHH! I am so excited for you. I decided to check your blog quick before bed - totally expecting a "still waiting" post.. but wait no more!!
OH! Just noticed the "Grandpa update" What a precious name, I love it! I've got to go check it's meaning before I go to bed. Congratulations!!
YEAH!! I heard your water had broken, so I checked in this morning. congratulations!!
Jolanthe
Thinking of you! Congrats on the arrival of your bundle. Can't wait to see pics!
love,
Sharon
Congratulations, Davene and Jeff! (Thanks for keeping us posted, Doc!! and for "holding down the fort" and the Indians!)
Tobin means "God's goodness" (and He ceratinly was and is!) and Ezra means "Helper"--and if my memory serves me well, is Granpa's middle name. May this little one live out these meanings as he learns to glorify his Lord Jesus!
We look forward to pictures and the rest of the story!!
Love to all!
Congrats Davene and Jeff! Hope your recovery and goes smoothly. We are excited to see the newest member of your family.
AND thanks to Dr. H for posting for you...that's great.
Congratulations Fisher family!
We shall all now wait with baited breath to hear the updates. Drumroll please...
