My sister Amanda and her husband Ben had their first baby yesterday! He was born at 2:33, weight 7 lbs., measuring in at 20 inches. His name is Ashton Craig Langhans and he shares a birthday with his grandfather Craig. Too cool.
Here's the story: His mama and papa were camping in Wenatchee when Amanda went into labor around 2am. Like a smart lady, she went to sleep. At 7am the contractions were about 5 minutes apart and, once again being a smart lady, she decided to head back to Bellevue asap. For those of you not from Washington, Wenactchee and Bellevue are on opposite sides of the state, separated by a mountain range and about4 hours of driving...
Ben and Amanda got to the birthcenter at 1:30 and Ashton was born at 2:30. Cutting it close, to say the least! Amanda called me on her way home at 5:30 that evening to let us know all were doing well and she was starving!
I'm on my way to see them all now:) Yay for new babies! Yay for family!

Wow what a fun birth story! I couldn't imagine being in labor in a car for 4 hours! I could barely handle 20 minutes!
