Is that a light at the end of this tunnel?
In a series of events far less chaotic and dramatic as one typically sees in the movies, Sheri was admitted into the hospital early this morning, after her water 'leaked' a few hours before going to bed. We got a full night's sleep and hit the hospital looking for answers. As suspected, because we were already 39 weeks along, and nearly 2cm dilated, the doctors suggested we pursue a round of antibiotics and wait 12 hours to see if Aiden started things on his own... and he's coming along nicely. 5 hours into things the doplar is showing much more consistent contractions ~8 minutes apart, and Sheri is finally feeling subtle pain associated with each contraction. In another 2 hours we'll have an internal exam to determine if Sheri has gained any more dilation - which will determine the path forward. Updates to come as the night and delivery progress.
Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers in this final day+ before we welcome Aiden into the world!

Although I am slightly sad that neither of the Maddox's won the Aiden sweepstakes, I am so happy that you all are fixing to welcome Aiden into the world.
Our prayers are with you - Brandon, be at peace as you love on Sheri and Sheri, know that God has this whole labor/delivery thing figured out and he gives you all the strength you need (via epidurals, none the less!)
Even we are not there, know that all your friends and family are cheering for you at this starting line of parenthood.
P.S. We were pleasantly surprised that the hospital rooms were not nearly as "desert-like" as we first assumed. : )
Totally cheering and praying for you guys.
GO for the 10th, PUSH Sheri PUSH!
Can't wait to see the first pics of little Aiden.
So exciting! We are praying for a peaceful, joyful, as-little-stress-as-possible day for Aiden's arrival! And Sheri, I really am glad you didn't wait until the 19th to have him -- at this point, anything past today is just cruel! :)
