Thunder's Here!

This morning at 6 am, Katie called to tell me they were headed to the hospital. She arrived there a little after 7 am. She was 6 cm dilated. Her water broke before they got her upstairs. They whisked her upstairs and after a little drama, Thunder was born at 9:36 am weighing 6 lb. 13 oz. and 20.5 inches long. Needless to say we are thrilled to pieces! I'll let the photos tell the story...
