Story

We went to the hospital Tuesday night for a scheduled induction on Wed morning.  Overnight they gave her some pre-induction treatment to get Erin ready, and Wed morning at about 6:30am prepared her for induction.  During the prep, Erin began laboring!  No induction necessary!

Around 10am her water broke and Erin went into Active Labor (“pushing”).  At  10:18am, out came beautiful Brooke, and I was able to cut the cord.  Erin didn’t even have time for an epidural, and did it “All Natural”!  She’s my hero.

Both Brooke and Erin are doing great and are the buzz of the Labor and Delivery department.  Both are healthy and recovering well.  Brooke is a sweet and happy baby, and cries very little (so far!)  Dad is ecstatic and exhausted, and is proud to have stayed on his feet for the whole thing.
