We were actually scheduled for an induction this morning at 7am, so we arrived at the hospital last night to check in. I was a little nervous about whether we were inducing too soon, but in God's beautiful timing, my water broke about 4am this morning on its own. Had we still been at home last night, by the time we got to the hospital and checked in, it is very likely that they would have started me on the Pitocin at exactly the same time it was started by already being at the hospital. All of my fears were gone! He was born 4 hours later, and we are again utterly amazed at the miracle of life.
He doesn't yet have a name, but hopefully will by tomorrow's post. =)
Iain's parents, my mom, Audrey and Avery came to the hospital for a couple of hours this afternoon to meet him. Here are a few.

Allison, he is gorgeous! Many congratulations to you and your wonderful family!
We have a similar story to tell about God's grace as I was scheduled for an induction on a Saturday morning - my water broke on Friday night (we were still at home) and Toby was delivered about 30 minutes before my induction would have started! What a mighty God we serve! Hence, we picked the name 'Tobias' which means 'God is good'. Just a suggestion... ;)
Enjoy your precious new little one and all your blessings!
Lots of love,
Kristen, Jonathan and Toby
