The date is set

I am scheduled to be induced on Tuesday, January 15, just 11 days away. Of course, that's IF I don't go into labor on my own before then. It could be possible this time around because I have been contracting and am progressing along. I certainly wouldn't mind one bit. I'll save you guys from all the specific details especially since my brothers read the blog. So now we are just waiting on this little boy. We are all ready for him and have possibly agreed upon a name for him. We'll let everyone know what it is as soon as Jason and I are sure that's what we want to call him.

In the meantime, could you all be praying for us? We don't have family in town to help watch the kids while we are in the hospital and will be relying on our neighbor and friends from church to help us. Please pray specifically that we would have friends able to watch the kids especially if I go into labor before the induction date. Pray also that I would have a quick delivery and be able to check out within 24 hours. Also that he would be a healthy baby boy. THANKS! We'll keep you posted.

Hi Shelley,

This is Patrick McConnell, Jason's cousin. Can you pass onto him that I stopped by the site? You guys can email us at paddy1mac@gmail.com. We will be praying for you both during this time. We understand all too well the challenges of not having family nearby.
