This story was too wild and awesome not to share.  Lexxaus and I recorded this just to make sure we had a recorded recollection of what happened the night our baby girl was born, but we decided to put it out there for others to hear.  Short preview: Indy was born on our back porch, in a tub, with no one here but Lexx and me!  This will be one of the best stories either of us could tell for the rest of our lives, and we hope you enjoy it too.
