Most of you know our crazy delivery story from Logan's birth in January 2010. How Erin went from 2cm dilated to having baby in 1.5 hours - in a wheelchair. You'd think we'd have learned from that and got to the hospital a little earlier. Well Reagan has blessed us with an equally fast delivery, so I still got to push the red button they tell you not to touch. We called the hospital at 12:54am and checked in 1:30am. A large number of women check into the hospital well before they are in "active labor", so the nurses are relaxed and moving at a slow pace to instill a calm. True to history, as soon as we got the the hospital the contractions rapidly intensified and unbeknownst to the nurses doing their routine checks in between Erin's contractions, baby was comin'. I got to hit the red button and within seconds 3 nurses arrived, but they wanted Erin to resist pushing until the doctor arrived. He showed up in street clothes and flip flops moments later, but like superman in a phone booth was back in a flash, full scrubs. At least this time we were in a room set up for delivery. Phew. A lovely little lady. More pics to follow!!!
