The Story:
.
Rebecca awoke
to contractions at 1:20am, Eric blissfully
unaware until 3:40am when she came back to
bed after having "breakfast" and watching
some TV. Both napped spordically with Eric
having breakfast at 5am. Both napped
sporadically until 7am when Eric got the
kids breakfast while Rebecca napped between
contractions! Very strong contraction at
7:30am prompted decision to head into
Virginia. Rebecca's Mom came over to look
after the kids and Anna came home from a
Girl Scout overnight at 8:10am.. just in
time to say goodbye as we headed to
Virginia.
Arrived at the
hospital at 8:45am, with great effort and
elation Rebecca delivered Elizabeth to the
breathing world at 10:59am.
