Christy is resting

Christy is resting now...thank you Jesus! Epidural is working its magic and even though contractions are still regular and BIG, the beauty of it is that Christy can barely feel them now. She woke up briefly to ask if the D5 solution would have too many calories in it to prevent her from losing weight...good God! I think we have a few more hurdles to jump before we worry too much about losing weight : )
Bryan is keeping busy watching the Twins try to win their ballgame (hmmmm, winning, what a concept). And I'm trying to remain the half full optimistic son of a gun that you all know I am : ) Doc is due back in here within an hour...we'll know more then! Grandpa Tim is sleeping now and says he'll check in every few hours...he's anxious to know his little girl and first grandbaby are OK and ready to see what he brought them from Brazil when he gets home on Saturday.
Keep the kind words and blog posts coming...they're helping Christy keep her sense of humor!

PS - I couldn't figure out how to put the photo at the bottom of this blog - forgive me, I'm fricking new at this and Bryan is ready to fire me.

Grandma Ruth, you make me laugh. If I ever have babies, will you write about me too?

Glad to see she's resting! Hang in there. I like Bryan's leisurely stance in the last picture while Christy is working so hard.

Holy crap you're popular! This is so exciting! 9 posts within like 20minutes. A bunch of Facebook statuses are talking about Baby Bode too!

You guys are awesome! Keep up the good work Christy (& Ruth!), you're practically celebrities.

Twins are winning 12-4, so that's a good sign, right Bryan?

O.K. I'm trying this again.....I don't think it showed up the first time. Anyway, this is the first "blog" I've ever been watching and I didn't know all day that I could comment back! Hang in there Christy! Like all the old ladies say, "You will forget all about that pain as soon as you hold your new little miracle!" It's really, really true! I also always tell people that I would go in to have their babies if I could.....it's that beautiful at the end! And my very last thing I always tell people is, "IT REALLY WILL COME OUT!" So, remembering that this all has a beautiful ending, keep working hard! You're doing great and IT WILL COME OUT! Love, Soon to be Great (yikes!) Aunt Annie
