I'm in labor!

I got up this morning and had contractions from 5am on. They have been persistent short little stinkers, but there, and every 8 minutes. In the last hour they have changed a lot. I am breathing with them and need to stop what I am doing. My mom is on her way out to pick up the kids, but we will not be sending Gracie as she was very sick last night. Please pray we can handle the sick little one along with the labor. Paul, Jessie and Jacob are filling up the labor tub as I write and I am hoping it will relieve the back pain. I sooo appreciate your prayers. I really want this little babe to come before bedtime so we can all sleep tonight and not pull an all-nighter. Winni is on her way. Paul might be posting updates.
