Welcoming Anush!

I am very happy to tell you that at 9:41 PM 29 March, Terra gave birth to Anush Lee Sprague weighing 6 and a half pounds. Mother and daughter are doing great. Terra’s water broke at 6:45 PM and Anush was delivered by two lovely paramedics at 9:41 on our living room floor.

For those of you who have broadband, below is a recording Terra and I made right after getting to hosptial. The doctors requested we come in so they could check both Terra and Anush because Anush was born breach. She came out backside first and was folded in half with her feet by her ears. Anush’s backside is bruised but it appears that is the worst of it. Terra handled the birth very well, starting and completing the task in under 3 hours with only 12 or 13 major contractions needed to birth Anush.

Enjoy the video. I am off to catch a few hours of sleep before going back to the hospital to bring home Terra and Anush.
