Tegan has arrived! March 9, 2007 at 9:10 PM. She was 6 pounds, 8 ounces and 19inches in length.
The crazy part of the story is that she was born on our bathroom floor. It all happened so fast and before I knew it, she was coming and there was no way we were making it to the hospital in time. I ended up in the bathroom and would not budge from there. We called 911 just in time and Shane had to “apply gentle pressure” to her head to keep her in until paramedics arrived. I was ready to push and she was born within seconds of them getting there. Two little pushes. It wasn’t ideal by any means and I was so embarrassed and couldn’t stop apologizing. I really really wanted to be at the hospital and I felt like I should have known better. I don’t know what or how it happened, but it did. I didn’t really feel that bad until about a half an hour before she came-it was so sudden. So a few fireman, four paramedics, and four sherriff welcomedTegan into the world. It was crazy.
Anyway, she is great and I am great and she is beautiful and a wonderful little baby. Ethan is a great big brother we are all tickled pink. And we have an awesome story.

Congrats, to a beautiful family! I came across your blog when I was told about Nathan’s. I was curious to see who else was “out there” from the old days.
Sara and I still keep in touch. Maybe we can all get together the next time I am in town. Take care.

Hi Kristine! It was nice to hear from you. How are you doing? Where are you living? We aren’t in touch with too many people from school, really. It’s kind of crazy how you lose touch. l can’t believe how long it has been. It would be fun to get together sometime!
