Introducing Armaan Jayden Sen!!

Talk about someone ready to enter the world! Around 11 in the morning, Tish started to feel some contractions. She tried to take a nap, but managed only about 10 minutes. Around 1p, the contractions started getting stronger. By 1:45 they were coming in less than 10 minutes apart. At 2:15 her water broke. We started off for the hospital around 2:30.

On the way to the hospital we run into blocked streets for the 4th of July parades. We take the backroads to get to the hospital. At 3, Tish is finally into a room and I go off to register her in. Ten minutes into my registering, I hear on the overhead announcement, "Any available OB doctor to labor and delivery. Code [some code number]." Five minutes later, the same announcement. And then five minutes after that, "Any available ER doctor to labor and delivery. Code..." By now I'm going 'hmmmm....' The phone next to the lady I'm with rings, and I hear, "We need him here right away!" I get back into the room around 3:20, and the baby is already crowning. Five big pushes later, at 3:37p Armaan made an appearance into the world!

Armaan came in at 19.5 in, weighing 7.5 lbs. So here's our boy born on Independance Day! More pictures to follow.. Stay tuned!
