Quick Update
I apologise as I failed to post when I headed to the hospital ... but things moved way too fast on Wednesday night. In brief, my water broke at 8:45 pm, we headed to the local hospital to see if I could make it to Renfrew where I was supposed to deliver. The answer was no and I was put in an ambulance to Pembroke where I laboured for 50 minutes. We arrived at Pembroke at 10:40pm and the baby was born 6 minutes later. Dave made it just as her head appeared. I will write this all up later because, although slightly scary, there were also some very funny parts. (Look forward to an ER doctor who suffers from severe motion sickness placed in a speeding ambulance with a labouring mother.)
We struggled with naming this baby and when we finally decided I thought, We don't know very many people with that name. Then I realised that four readers of this blog have a daughter with the same name and one reader also shares the name. So, without further ado (and proving to my first cousins that we have an affinity for your daughters' names!), we introduce Sarah Elena Afelskie, born at 10:46pm on Wednesday, June 6th, 2012 at Pembroke General Hospital, 8lb 3.5 oz, 20 inches.

Update
Just thought I would check in and let people know that I have been having contractions most of the day every 15-20 minutes apart so I imagine that something more should soon start happening. I think that I will try and make it to 4:30 pm mass and see where things go from there. I will post to the blog when we leave for the hospital and my mom will take care of the birth announcement. Please pray for peace of mind and safe labour and delivery. p.s. Tomorrow is our 10th anniversary; we might get a very special present.
