My dad's email to the Prothero family:

"At 12:30 am yesterday (Nov 9th) Lindsay’s water broke and, unprepared, Jason took her immediately to the hospital. We were called at 5:15 am to go to Jason’s house and pick up clothes, breakfast and a Pug (Barkley). We arrived at 6:30 am to fully lit house and a slightly confused pug. Under the direction of Jason, on the other end of the cell phone, we gathered the clothes and other items requested and loaded them into the bag they intended to packed in preparation for a trip to the hospital. Because Lindsay was already dilated to 6 centimeters, Jason was helping Lindsay with her contractions at the same time he was directing us throughout his house. Lindsay’s parent and 1 sisters arrived from Portland at about 10 am and Gwendolyn Rose arrived at 11:15 am – just 11 hours in labor. She was about 3 and one-half weeks early and a healthy 5 lbs 14 oz 18.5 inches. Lindsay’s other sister arrived from Seattle shortly after the birth. We all agreed she was the most beautiful baby we had ever seen."
