The Big Day!!!!
[ AUTHORS NOTE ] This is the blog post was used to document all the steps and thoughts in and around the birth of our first son Jackson Clark. I used twitter.com to keep all friends and family updated through out the day. I have gone back and captured all the twitter postings or tweets from that day in order to freeze that amazing day in time.
Well here we are…. About to head out the door and head to the hospital. In order to keep everyone in the loop come back here and I will do my best to use twitter to keep everyone in the know.

Sounds like things are progressing well, which is great to hear! I will check back often today for updates. Off to work I go!
I LOVE alarms!!!!!!!….Yay for water breaking!!!!!!
Good Morning, How is every thing ? What is going on ? How is Tiphanie? How are you? See you in a little while.
I got chill bumps reading the updates just now!!!! Keep on twittering because I’ll keep on checking back and of course, want to know EVERYTHING. Great to hear water broke on its own. That should speed things up a bit maybe? Or reduce the chances for a C-sec?? Just guessing. Continuing to think of you guys! How are you holding up?
