Early Sunday morning I got a phone call that Ash was "cramping". So I immediatly ran over to get Ash walking. Little did I know she had been "cramping since midnight.... and know she was having contractions every 1-2min apart. With the adivice of Becka, and my friend Cynthia..."GET HER TO THE HOSPITAL!!!" Mom and I drove her to the hospital and got her checked in. Clay, mom and Becka helped Ash with her breathing and tried to keep her calm. Camille was in awe of how incredible everything was, Megan and Heather not so much... I think they were a bit frightened. I stayed out in waiting room with them and watched the marathon of Ghost Hunters... yipee! Jimmy and Ash's bishop came and gave her a blessing and comfortered her. After several hours of labor, she was able to get an epidural, from our friend Justin :). She labored in comfort until the time came and Clay stepped out of the room and said "Its go time"! Mom and I ran in and ... I got kicked out, and not too shortly after that a baby was born. Apparently Payton came into the world just as the "Star Spangeld Banner" was being sung for the opening of the Super Bowl. Ash said she thought "oh brother" with tears running down her face. Clay and grandma were so proud and the nurses said they thought Clay and Ash were the sweetest couple they had ever seen.

Wow! I didn't know Ashley's married name was Norwood. We have long time friends here in Las Vegas with that same name. (Maybe they are related)
You do have a beautiful family. Sydney's baby Abigail is awesome too. I hope Ashley's baby is as sweet and easy as Abby has been.
Too sweet!! What a beautiful baby! Please tell Ashley that I said congratulations! And don't tell her this but OMGosh I must be old...i remember when she was a baby!!
