Miracles

I'm going to try to remember all the things that helped Elliot get here.


- Bobby got the short end of the stick from BNSF. Lucky for us Bobby got RSIA'd and was forced to take three days off. All because of 5 minutes. Which coincided with the birth. Tiffany was also able to get off and they drove up to help with Rowdy and Ezra. (RSIA is something forced upon the R.R. by the government that forces us to take time off. Too hard to explain here.)

-Lynda was planning on leaving to CA at 4:00 am but was interrupted by some breaking water and a subsequent phone call from her little brother at 2:36 am. The call went something like this:
Cody: Lynda, are you awake?
Lynda: No, what do you want?
C: Celeste broke her water.
L: no she didn't
C: yes she did, I promise. I wouldn't call you right now if she didn't
L: honest to goodness?
C: yes
L: are you crossing your fingers?
C: she really did. come down here.

and she came and helped out so much. With our two boys both our mothers were able to be at the birth but were unable to this time. Lynda stepped in and performed beautifully. and then left to CA at 11:00 after a quick visit with Elliot. Lynda, I owe you a coke.

- Paige and Zoe coming over at 3:30 am to watch the boys.

- Tad, Amelia, and Deedee interrupting their visit to takeover for Paige and Zoe

- Work. I got in from Temple at 10:30 pm and was promptly told by Celeste to stop going to temple because Elliot was coming soon. Celestradamus was so right it's scary.
