The delivery...

So, here is the scoop. Katie woke up at 3am with pretty hard contractions, by 315 there weren't any breaks in between and she was on the floor on all fours screaming for dear life and not even able to walk. Jesse called Sheilah, who rushed right over and by the time she got there to take care of Amalia it was 3:45 and Katie was ready to push on the kitchen floor. Jesse and Katie rushed to the hospital in about 5 minutes...got to the ER at 3:55am, was taken on a stretcher to the maternity delivery room by 3:57, three pushes and three minutes later Nora Katherine Dill, 7 lb, 5 oz, 19 inches, was born at 4:00am. Everything went so fast that Jesse didnt even have his wallet or keys or a camera, the only camera we had was on Katie's phone. There was no time for oxygen, IV, epidural, nothing. Amalia was brought over by Grandma and Grandpa by 430 and tia and Josh were there by 445. It was the most amazing yet hardest one hour of our lives. Thankfully we are all healthy, happy and will be returning home on Wed!.
