Baby on the way!

I woke up this morning and got to hop on the computer for a few minutes before heading out to our church for standard Friday morning men's prayer. And this will be quick. There's a brief message in my inbox:

Hi, Mom and Dad,
I just got up to go to the bathroom and my water broke. In the past, it’s been like a water balloon popping, but thankfully this was not so dramatic.

Contractions have just begun in earnest (feeling first one right now), but we called Judy and she’ll be on her way very shortly.

Yay!

Sounds like an answer to prayer to me! . . . We've been praying that this baby will come soon. And, in fact, since numbers are a really big deal for Amy, truth be known, we've actually been praying for an 08-08-08 birth. Looks as if it will be happening!

Actually, if I could have my perfect druthers, this new baby would be born at 08:08 on 08-08-08! But that's probably asking a little too much.:-)
