So, dear friends! Thanks so much for standing by! And THANKS FOR PRAYING!!!! Turns out those contractions were the real deal!
Can't upload pictures yet, but this is what I can tell you.
Contractions started while I was grilling chicken around 5:30 p.m.
They continued as I wrote emails and posted on the blog.
Around 10:00, it seemed necessary to get to the hospital.
Got to the hospital around 10:30.
Our baby was born 1:25 a.m. on October 19. I'm still in shock that it's real.
We have a baby girl.
9 lbs 12.6 oz
21 3/4 inches (or so, Brent thinks...I don't even know!)
Lots of hair.
Very sweet.
I had the best labor and delivery team, including our doula Karen and my stellar husband, Brent.
Oh, and the baby came too fast for an epidural. More later.

Love the beautiful name, and you look so great in the pics!!
So I don't check blogs all day and there you go and have a baby.
What up, girl?
So glad to hear things went so well and so quickly - I think...??
Phoebe is precious! I'm in love with her cheeks. If it wouldn't hur them, I guess I'd steal Jillian's dimples and Phoebe's cheeks.
What would I do with them? Hmmm. Great question.
Congrats to the fam! Hope your recovery is quick!
