Things are happening . . .

Carrie called me this morning shortly after 5 to say that her water broke (one of the babies, at least).  I rushed to the hospital, thinking it likely meant the babies would be delivered pretty quickly.  The doctor  and nurses are monitoring the babies closely and apparently the babies can healthily go for days and even weeks in utero after the water has broken.  They have Carrie sedated, but on many uncomfortable monitors, so sleep is difficult.  The contractions have definitely increased in strength, too and some are painful for her.  It's just a waiting game now, it seems (though that's pretty much what it's been all along.)  Thanks for your prayers!
