Henry's Birthday!

At about 2:30 am on Saturday, May 20th, 2000, Mei started having strong contractions. At 5:30 am, we called our midwife, and she told us to drive down to Northside Hospital. By 7:00 am, we were in our room, and the midwife confirmed that Mei was in labor. She predicted that we would have a new baby before lunchtime.

True to her word, she helped Mei deliver Henry David Snyder at 11:34 am. He was 6 lbs, 15 oz., and 20 inches long.
