Drum roll please...
Welcome Abigail Jean Lambourne,
Born: Jan. 31st 20099:19pm
Weight: 8 lbs 5 ounces
Length: 21"
Delivered: at home by her Daddy!!...that's right, you can call me Mr. Mid-Wife.
The whole thing went down in about 45 minutes flat. It must be a record time for labor to birth and it was definently a surprise to all of us who were just talking about getting a movie for the night and maybe the baby would be born the next day. Carrie and I went on a walk to get the mail at about 8:30pm. When we got back, the heavy labor just kicked in all of the sudden. Next thing you know, I'm playing doctor and delivering my own daughter...in my own bedroom! The mid-wife arrived about two minutes after Abigail was born and took over with the clean up detail.Both mom and baby are doing great! I think Grandma Crowley is a little traumatized, but it went down perfect. We were blessed that everything with the birth go so good (no funny business with the cord or anything) and that we were allready prepared for a home birth, because we would have never made it to the hopsital!
Abigail is a beautiful little angel who we can allready tell is going to be determined. When she makes up her mind to do something, she isn't going to wait around for anyone! I think we're going to nick name here "Action Abby."

I love the way they weighed her in...like a fish or something

Congratulations!! Abigail is beautiful! Just think of all the fun stories you'll have to tell about her (already!). :-)
She is beautiful!!! Congratulations! Rod & Carrie, you are rock stars : )
Abigail is beautiful. The last picture looks a little like Leticia did as an infant. This little girl will have quite a story to tell ~ daddy delivered me ~ her hero. Congratulations on a cutie pie, and great teamwork, mom and dad. Sweet Carrie still smiles even when she's sleeping. Love to you, Mom and Dad Lambourne
how absolutely insane! I would have totally flipped out. She is soooo beautiful, really adorable. So 3 girls, huh? Poor Rod.
Congratulations you guys!!
Dude... good job to Rod! I don't think Kevin would have been to keen on performing an emergency c-section, so it's a good thing I don't dilate. :) Abigail is precious, just like her cute sisters. ;)
Congratulations and good job Rod. Oh, and you too Carrie.
That's a great story you guys!! Couldn't help but smile the whole way through. Congratulations to you both!
BTW, this is Erika Lassen. I'm in my sister's account. Sorry for the mixup!
Congrats Rod & Carrie! Way to go Mid-husband. :) Glad Abigail made it here safely. Take care you two plus three!
Wow! Way to go Rod for being a brave Daddy and delivering her and to Carrie for no painkillers! She is so cute and she looks like your other two girls! I am glad everything went well and good luck with 3 kids... Carrie you'll have to let me know how it is!?
Wow! Way to go Rod! And you too of course Carrie! We're absolutely thrilled for you guys. That must have been kinda nice having it all over in under an hour :).
Miss you guys!
