The Story:

Sunday December 19^th 1999 - Jennifer was having very minor labor pains but nothing to get worried about.

Monday December 20^th 1999 - Nothing was happening so I went to work. At 10:45am Jennifer paged me because her water broke during here mid morning nap. I immediately left work and rushed home. I got home around 11:10am. By the time I got home Jennifer was already in active labor. I grabbed our hospital bag and helped her to the car. While in route to the hospital Jen said she felt a lot of pressure and felt the need to push. I told her to wait (not because it was my car, but because that's what they told us in birthing class ..... ok it was the car thing ). While in the car she said she was going to have this kid by noon. I looked at the clock, it was 11:31am. I thought she was joking. We arrived at the hospital at about 11:40am and were in out delivery room within minutes. She barely had time to put her robe on. The first nurse examined her and ran from the room. The nurse returned is a few seconds with a whole team of help. I turned and looked and there was the top of the head. I think Jen only pushed 4 or 5 times and the head popped out. Next thing I know there's our son sitting on a little table getting examined, Jennifer is being tended to and I'm sweating like I just ran a July marathon in Arizona.  12:01pm......now that's accuracy!!!

To say the least, it all happened so fast that I'm not sure that I even comprehend what happened. Before we left the house for the hospital, I grabbed a box of granola bars thinking it was going to be a long night.
