I am happy to report that not more than an hour went by before Jen's water broke on her own. (6;30PM) We now find ourselves in the bathtub, walking the hallways, sitting on a exercise ball, and any position that will bring her comfort during the contractions. The disappointment of earlier is as polar opposite of the joy we felt when the water broke.
It seems strange to pray for pain and want to embrace it in the absence of it... But that is exactly what we did. We think of Jesus and how he embraced the pain of the cross because there was a promised joy put before him. We look forward to the joy of knowing Tucker intimately and sharing him with all of you. Thanks for your prayers and please keep them coming.

Oh, my gosh I just got home and read your blog immediately. Your last entry was at 6:30pm it is now 11:47pm, I am praying like mad.
Your entries touch me and totally crack me up, and I think you both should either write a book together or do stand up! ha ahahah
Love you guys so much, and I'm so excited I can't stand it. I don't think I've been excited like this about anything in a long time. It feels wonderful.
Oh, Lord thank you for this family and this precious precious life we are about to receive. Come now sweet Tucker come now dear one......
I'll be up all night anyway, so will be thinking of you.
Tucker is definitely a Taurus--stubborn as can be. You guys are going to have a great story to tell him in a few years.
Good luck!
Jena
