Junebug's Ready to Make His or Her First Appearance!

I got the call from Mr. P at 1:48 this morning. He was headed home from work because Mrs. P was in labor. Then came the call from Mrs. P at 1:53 AM. Contractions were 3 to 5 min apart and I talked her through several of the contractions trying to keep her distracted from what was going on. You know the important stuff...is her bag packed? Yep - she said it's in the car. As she breathed through a contraction, I held my breath, like that's going to do any good. :) Then I breathed with her as she breathed. Does that help? I don't know, but holding my breath wasn't helping at all! LOL

Tears of joy and excitement stream down my face as I think about the day I gave birth to Mr. P, and now 21 years later, he will be at his wife's side as she gives birth to their first child. Oh how I wish I could close the 3,000 mile gap that exists between us, just for today. I'm so grateful for today's technology...texts are coming in letting me know the current status. Mr. P texted "they said today is the day". Yes it is, isn't it?

Needless to say, there is no sleep for this Gramma today. God bless this child and watch over Mr. and Mrs. P on this very special day.

Stay tuned for webcam pictures...hopefully tomorrow!
