A trip to the hospital . . .

Carrie has been having more and longer contractions this afternoon. A call to our doctor has sent us to the emergency room just to check up and monitor things. No one was in the waiting room so she was zipped right up. The doctor on call and the nurses have been great and things look fine at this point. They are calling them Braxton-Hicks contractions and she's on an IV to get some more fluids in her. I suspect she'll be here for the night, but we don't know for sure, of course. We appreciate your prayers!
