Guys.. my son's wife is in active labor (her water broke early this morning) with their third baby. We're planning on a home birth, since they turned the birthing center in the nearby city into a COVID ward (but they were told when they called a couple weeks ago to preregister, "oh, but you're welcome to have your baby here!" Um... NO!)
So, grandma got called this morning, and drove 220 miles across the state. I've spent the day playing with the active 2 and 3 year old granddaughters, checking on two sets of newborn lambs (the 3 year old said, "see, grandma! That yukky stuff hanging from her vagina is the placenta. It fed the babies when they were inside her") yeah... she's very precocious!
Anyway, prayers would be appreciated for a safe birth and healthy baby. I had two of my four born at home, but I'll admit... it seems sketchier than it did 40 years ago! When their younger one was born, she literally had her in the wheelchair, catching her herself and handing her to the doctor (who promptly announced, "and that's how it's done!). So I don't expect it to take too long... but every one is different.
