A Boy!!!
Tobin Gill arrived February 14 at 1:14am, 7lbs 2oz. Ann-Marie's water broke at about 9:30pm with labor starting about 15 minutes later. Within about 30 minutes the contractions were coming every five minutes; about an hour later they were insistent, nonstop with one starting immediately after the previous one subsided, a continuous wave of contractions! At about 12:45 she was fully dilated and ready to start pushing. Fortunately Hillary, our doctor, decided to stay nearby throughout and was amazing with her support and encouragement. After about four contractions the baby needed to come out fast so Ann-Marie put the hammer down and pushed him out almost between contractions! What a crazy event!!!! Very mammalian.
Ann-Marie was amazing, tough and ready to get the job done, no complaining (unlike me who would have been weeping on the floor if I had to go through that... okay so I was weeping but that was later).
So now we're home and trying to figure it all out, luckily we have such amazing friends and family that we won't have to cook or clean for quite awhile!
Anyway, here are some pics, more to follow.
