6:00 pm - she got epidurel (he took around 9 min to do it)
7:30 pm - baby moves down the cervix
9:00 pm - gita metha arrived and looked at the baby... push was the word we often used from then on
9:46 pm - my girl was out, thru vaginal delivery... it was so amazing experience, everyone should feel that... it
