Ethan Finn Paris

But, we like making life confusing so he'll go by Finn!

Born 3:04 am MST, 8 lbs, 20.5 inches. 10 fingers, 10 toes.

Here's a brief summary of last night. Margie, Megan, myself and the dogs went for a walk around 9:00 pm last night. Throughout the walk, Megan was having light, but fairly regular contractions. Got back to the house around 9:30... by 10:30 her contractions were getting stronger and more regular. We called our Doula around midnight (I think) and called our midwives to come on out around 1:30 or so. Nedra (midwife #1) arrived around 2:00 am. Mary (midwife #2) arrived shortly thereafter. And Jill (our friend and photographer) arrived sometime after Mary. Megan transitioned from laboring on the labor ball to the pool around 1:00 am or so. They started the pushing process shortly after the midwives arrived. Megan was quite the trooper.. everyone was impressed with her calmness. I must say, I was very impressed. I think Margie did more yelling than Megan. Megan will probably write a more detailed (and interesting) labor story when she's feeling up for it.
