Katherine's birth
On Friday July 27th 2001, Katherine Grace was born
The event went as follows:
Approx. 8AM Lana is called by Dr. Gorman.  Being Lana was do in a week, Dr. Gorman called to see if Lana would like to be induced.  Since Lana's mom was here for only two more weeks, she thought it was a good idea.  Lana and I left for the hospital about 9 AM.  She got checked in and went to the birthing room.  I checked in with work and let them know what was happening.  
At about 1015 Lana was started on Pitocin, to induce labor.
Lana wimped out this time and decided to go for the epidural.  So she was stuck in bed.
Things went slowly and there was not more labor progress for a while. The doctor was in to check on her at times.  

At about xxxx, the doctor broke Lana's "water".  By 2 PM labor was starting to pick up.  At 2:37 Katherine was born!
