Photos and Details!

I've popped back into the house to grab a few items to bring back for Lucy and Barbara. Sorry for some of the crazy transcription from the voice blogs and emails, but in a nutshell, here's the accurate information:

Barbara was having mild contractions all day on Friday, approximately seven minutes apart. Her water broke at around 6:30pm, and we were driving through the storm to arrive at the delivery room by 7:30pm. Without any drugs or even an IV, Barbara used HypnoBirthing to relax and bring Lucy into the world at 10:52pm. Barbara was absolutely incredible - everybody involved was impressed. I helped catch Lucy and cut her cord. The rush of emotions is unlike anything I've ever experienced.

Lucy Mathis Targum was born on Friday, February 22 at 10:52 pm. She was 8 pounds, 6 ounces and 21 inches long. Also, she's really cute.

I'll certainly write more when we're back home. In the meantime, here are some untouched photos.
