At 5:30 a.m. this morning, Audra's water broke. After Grandma Bollard came over to watch the boys, we headed to Hoag hospital. We checked into a wonderful room with an ocean view. Audra got her epidural around 9:00 a.m. and the contractions came regularly. The epidural started to wear off by noon, but Audra did a great job hanging in there until she got more medication. Our girl (amazing) was born at 12:55 p.m. with lots of dark hair. She was 6 lbs. 10 ounces and 18 1/2 inches long. As Ethan said when he saw her, "Welcome to the world!"

Good luck with this group, Chloe!
