Eric and Alison: Update

I'm not really certain why I picked this photo for an update on Alison's labor. Perhaps I feel a bit like the dog pictured her. I feel a bit like a caged animal after a day of waiting for news. I know the other grandparents do, too! We yearn to know that our grandson is safe and healthy and that Alison's agony is over. Waiting is hard!

I don't have much to pass on. We know that the young couple has been at the hospital for about an hour. We haven't heard from Eric since they arrived there. Our hope is that Eric's texting silence means his wife is in very active labor, and he's just too busy comforting her.
