Liam Benjamin Herrmann

Hi. This is fairly raw. I haven't had time to edit these as much as I like, but Internet access is nonexistent at the hospital, so I had to duck out and do this quickly... plus I am operating on very little sleep....

New baby Liam enters the world

on Aug 2 at 12:30am Mom's water broke... we called the doctor and started counting contractions. Contractions started immediately and they were 2 minutes apart. Crystal was stressing. Not enough time from one to the next for her to catch her breath. After an hour and a half, they doctor recommended that we come on in....
