Russell Winslow - Born 8:56 am weighing 6 lbs 5 ozs, 20 inches long.
Elizabeth Ann - Born 12:45 pm weighing 5 lbs 8 ozs, 19 inches long
Megan Elizabeth - Born 12:45 am, weighing 6 lbs, 10 ozs, 19 inches long.
Melanie Echo - Born 9:21 am, weighing 6 lbs, 13 ozs, 20 inches long.To make a long story short, this is what went down this week. 3:30 Thursday morning, I start having contractions that are 10 minutes apart, not too painful. This continues until about 7am, when they become a lot stronger. They are still about 10 minutes apart. Around 7:30, mom says that since they are painful, we might as well go in to the hospital. So I get up and start getting Megan, myself and Russ ready to go. As soon as I get up, the contractions start happening every 2-6 minutes. We hurry everyone along and we get to the hospital around 8:30. They are now about 2-3 minutes apart. I get to triage and they examine me and all they can feel is my water and they say that I am probably complete and don't have time to get an epidural. They take me to a labor room around 8:45 and get an IV started just in case I can have one. They broke my water and I soon start pushing. I didn't have time for an epidural. OUCH!!!!! Melanie was born at 9:21 in the morning. She was 6 lb 13 ozs and 20'' long.
Here are some more pictures:
She looks so much like Russ did when he was born.

Right before we left for the hospital. I was in between contractions at the time.
