so, i figured i could take our ticker tape down since I'm typing this while I'm finally IN LABOUR! already really different from last time. seeing as how it started at 2.30 this morning, Kari was the only person i told right away. perhaps the only occasion that time difference comes in handy. letting patrick and mom sleep. somebody will take hannah to her friend's house when she wakes up. unless we're done by then. but i doubt it! thanks for your prayers. They mean so very much to me, knowing that my friends and family are supporting and encouraging us from near and far. we love you, and will keep you posted.
