Nicholas Andrew Richards was born on August 17th 2006 in Bel Air, Maryland. He weighed 7 lbs 5.8 oz. 19 inches long. He was born at 10:25 pm. Laura's water broke at about 3 am and we headed out to the hospital which is just a short distance from our home. Dad/Grandpa remained at home to alert Andrew and find all of the contact information for the Red Cross. The Red Cross was great and quickly contacted Sheppard Air Force base where Andrew is stationed. They wrote up emergency orders for Andy and he was on his way to Maryland. Andy arrived at the hospital at about 2:00 pm and was able to support Laura during the second half of her labor and then be part of the delivery of his first child.
