Maya was born!

Here's the update! Kim felt increasingly intense and consistent contractions starting around 11:30 yesterday morning (March 27) and at around 8:30pm we decided to make a trip over to the hospital to check things out. She was dilated to about a 3, but having intense contractions every one to two minutes, so they decided to keep her another hour and see what happened (usually they don't keep you unless you are a four). After an hour she was dilated to a four and they transfered her to her own room (around 10:30pm). By midnight Kim accepted an epidural and had her "bulging sac" ruptured. At 2am she was already dilated to a ten and complete, so she began to push! At 4:38am, Maya came out! Wow. So, currently we are each ecstatic and we feel like we are dreaming. Maya is doing very well. She scored a 9-10 on her Apgar (newborn baby) test and weighed in at 7lbs. and 6 ounces at 18 and 3/4 inches long, with brown hair. Kim is doing great as well; worn out and sore. Our friend Molly, (Molly and her husband Jeremy go to church with us, Jeremy and Pete are skiing partners and Molly and Kim work together on L&D) worked all day on the 27th and came in and worked all night just to be Kim's nurse and deliver the baby.
