Here's the story. I went into labor around 12:30 am on Saturday morning. I woke up The Man around 1:00 am to inform him I might be in labor. I spent the next hour in denial until the pain was a bit too much. So we called the Holmes' at 2:00 am to come stay with the Boy. 
I spent two plus hours in triage because the woman next to me decided to have her baby then and there. When I got to the hospital I was dialated to about a two and by the time I got my epidural an eternity later, I was already a seven. Holy pain. I was not made for labor. 
The Girl's heart rate dropped shortly after the epidural. My room went from having three people to about ten people in a matter of seconds. A few shots of this and that along with some fast acting staff and things went back to normal quickly, though. She was born at 6:12 am - delivered by Dr. Duguid, Nurse Tracy, and friend and medical student Stephanie (who had her baby the next day!).

Congratulations guys!! It is driving me nuts that I don't know her name...maybe you should email me and let me know shelly.stoddard@gmail.com. She is adorable, and I love the last picture of the boy holding her. too cute!!
Yeah!! I love the story and photos--she is so precious. And thanks for the shout-out...I feel special. :) I guess that's how it feels to be an ob/gyn and to always be remembered in people's birth stories. :)
We definitely need to get our girls together soon!
I love the picture of the boy holding the girl. Too cute.
