After going to sleep last night, Michell woke me up at 12:36 to let me know that her water broke. Michell took a couple showers and then finally called the midwife, who told us to come on in. We finally got everyone up and out the house by 1:40. Michell sent out a few text messages and was shocked to see a few people respond. Kelsey (our neighbor and photographer) was out of town, so Jen Clark volunteered to fill in for her while she was gone. Fortunately, Jen was one who was up and got the text at 1:40 am. She left shortly after to come take pictures for us. We arrived at the birth center at approximately 2:15. We had enough time for the midwife to check Michell and call her staff, "she is already a 9, get here fast." Well no one was fast enough. Morgan arrived at 2:25 before Jen or the staff could arrive. As we expected, Morgan came very quickly. We were told the 2nd labor was twice as fast, and that was right on. Tanner's labor was 4 hours and Morgan took exactly 1 hour and 50 min from the time Michell's water broke, until she arrived. After Michell was checked out and got to take a bath with Morgan, we were on our way home at 6:00 am. We got home at about 6:45 and I fell asleep trying to put Tanner back down. Here are some pictures of our new family of four. And for all those that kept calling and thinking we forgot to let you know Morgan was here, here she is finally.

Congrats from Travis and me. She's too cute! Glad she arrived so quickly, but glad she gave ya'll enough notice to get to the birthing center.
I cant believe how fast your labors go. Maybe I could go natural if that happened to me! She is just beautiful! I cant believe you are home already. I am bumbed Jen didnt even get there in time but I am sure she got some great shots once she did get there. Congrats on being one powerful woman and for producing such cute kids! I cant wait to squeeze her. p.s. who actually comes ON their due date, btw?
i am jealous of how fast your labors go and that you got to do them all natural! You are superwoman!!!!!!
She is beautiful! I can't wait to come down and love on her!!!!I agree with Kelsey-who does come on their due date?
Sleep well today!
