B's Baby-J

Prayers for B-Mama as she has headed over to the hospital to greet sweet baby J! After a bit of prolonged 1st stage labor yesterday, I am praying for B-Mama that labor will continue in high gear this morning and baby J will arrive very soon. I just spoke with B-Mama and the hospital where she planned to deliver is full ;-( They sent her to a neighboring hospital and she was en route with painful contractions when we spoke. I will write with any updates! Let's pray that baby J arrives by lunchtime!!!!!

Update****

He has arrived! Baby J was born at 10:38am, just 1 hour and 15 minutes after I spoke with B-mama! Baby J weighed it at 7lbs 4oz. I do not yet have his length. He arrived screaming and very healthy.

In addition, B-Mama had an unplanned totally natural delivery--with a very entertaining story surrounding baby J's arrival. Congrats to B-Mama and the entire family. I can't wait to see pictures of the little guy.

Moms, Dads ----- need consumer advice stat---

We are an Army family. I am married to a junior officer and we live in government-assigned quarters. This means the homes are "intimate", so I have not needed a baby monitor in order to hear a waking napper. However, we will spend the next month at my folks' house staying in a back carriage house. Thus I need a baby monitor that works well. The range doesn't have to be amazing and I think I will even be ok with one that is plugged into the wall - just need one in the front house so I can hear the waking angel out back. Any and all suggestions welcome but please hurry, we leave in six days.
Thanks in advance, team.
