Well, it seems the process has begun. Abbie starting having strong contractions about 1 am.   We came in to the hospital and they monitored her for a while but ended up sending her home. We went to the scheduled appointment at 9:30, and Dr. J sent us back to the hospital to finish the job. We are in the hospital, all hooked up, and Dr. J just broke her water.   Will try to keep updating when possible.
