She was almost to a seven when we got her to a room, so we decided on a spinal tap as opposed to an epidural.

Good decision on that last one because the doctor came in to break Kathy’s water and she was at an 8 1/2. As he broke the water she went instantly to complete. 2 pushes and out came the baby at 6:25 am.

8 lbs 7 ounces 19 1/2 inches long. Still needs a name

Laura(sister-in-law to both of us) was our nurse and was very helpful

Mother, baby, and father doing well.

He got his bath and is very sleepy.
