Grandpa Bull

I HAD to post this. Uncle Dean printed off a shot from my post earlier and brought it to show my Grandpa where he noticed a striking resemblance. Thanks for passing this along!! And thanks for sharing it with grandpa.

Little Man

Love this one. What a sweet kid. Praise God from whom all blessings flow!! I am so undeserving of the family the Lord has blessed me with... I am overwhelmed and humbled. Thank you Lord for Samantha, Grace, Maddie, Faith, & Jack. My cup runneth over.

THE FAM

WOW, I guess we now officially qualify as a "large" family. We only have 1 empty seat in our minivan, the middle seat between G & M in the back. The kids LOVED seeing their little brother for the first time! They were so excited!
Sam will be coming home on Monday, probably by early afternoon, a bit sooner than we first thought. Can't wait to all be together for good.
Heidi & Nita have been such a huge help watching the kids while Sam, Jack & I hang at the hospital. Thanks so much!!
Sam is doing very well, looks great and was able to rest most of the afternoon and evening today.

Video Starring Jack Wesley

Here's a quick video for those of you snowed in and unable to make the trek to MI to see this little guy!
Sorry about the band across the video, I'll pay for the upgrade soon and re-do the video to remove it.

Meet Jack Wesley

What a sweet content little guy. He's been so fun to hold, eyes open much of the time, just content to be with us. I'm so proud of Sam- she's a PRO, makes it look almost easy. There will be more photos coming, but I need to get to bed, with the time change tonight it's after 2:00am. Enjoy!! Post comments!!

Then again, let's get this party started!!

So we're learning how fast things change. Apparently the medicine Sam is on is stronger and doesn't need to be in her system that long.... So they are going to break her water within the hour. She's been having small contractions all afternoon, so hopefully they'll begin to build!!
By the way, the best way to stay informed will be to check our blog:

I'll be posting updates there as a way to journal the day (and keep me busy)!!

Taking it S L O W

We arrived at the hospital at about 10:30 this morning. Sam has group B strep which doesn't really affect her, but could be picked up by the baby during delivery. So they need to have her on antibiotics before they start the process of inducing delivery. They explained that they need 2 doses of the meds in her system and that each dose takes EIGHT HOURS. So, unless she starts labor naturally, they won't even START inducement until the middle of the night (very early Sunday AM). They have also restricted her to a clear fluid diet, so she's hungry and only eating jello & water-- maybe we can convince them to give her some toast...
The Dr. Is a true professional and the nurses have been great.
I'll leave soon to grab some lunch and pick up some things to keep us busy while we wait patiently.

Several of you have indicated you are praying for us and we sincerely appreciate it - don't stop now!!
