Baby Zephyr

August 6th, 2011 - It was a dark and stormy night... no really, it was. B went into labor as a pretty intense summer storm blew through Breckenridge. 1:20ish: B is in labor, I call Lindsay, she arrives within 10 minutes. 1:40ish: out the door. 1:50ish at the hospital (it takes about 20 minutes for B to make it up to the hospital's birth place from the lobby as she was having contractions about 30 seconds apart). 2:10ish: Into the room we go, B demanding her epidural. This was moving fast! 2:30ish: Lots of labor, B still demanding epidural. 2:35ish: B learns there will be no epidural (okay). 2:40ish: B's water breaks, Dr. informs B & me, "this baby will be out in 5 minutes." 2:48 on-the-dot: Zephyr Charles Shotts is in the World weighing in at 7lb 9oz, length: 20.5". Perfect. We can say, literally and figuratively, that Zephyr's birth came in a storm and W slept through the whole thing!
