Delayed Passport?

My wife and I are going to Ireland for the first time. We never got a honeymoon and now I'm afraid it still won't happen. We paid one of those services to walk in our applications. Hers was in and out in one day, mine is still there and they actually got mine before hers! She had an adoption in her past as a child and had extra forms for them to review, but I should have been easy to process! All I keep getting from the passport status site is that it is being processed. I am running out of time. I have to leave for Missouri on the 15th, pick up my wife and go to Chicago on the 16th and then we leave Chicago on the afternoon of the 17th! Even if the passport gets processed in time, say tomorrow, they will Priority mail it to the passport expediting service and IF the service gets it by Friday I may be able to get them to provide next day saturday delivery, but those are MANY IFS! I am quite worried and I am wondering if it may be best to grab another copy of my birth certificate and be at the Chicago Office early in the morning on Monday the 17th and try to get the same day service to get passport in hand in time to jump on the plane. I am really worried it is going to ruin our trip.
Will they even help me if I already have one passport in progress/process?
HELP!

It doesn't hurt to try, take all your airline tickets and your wife's itinerary (or ticket) and tell them the story about your honeymoon, people are usually understanding when it comes to honeymoon stories. If it does not work at least you have tried everything you could.
 
Was this for a first time U.S. passport application for you? ALL first time passport applicants must apply in-person.

Was it renewal for her?
