Oh yeah... We had a Baby

In doing all my updating, I have thus far forgotten to mention that we had our third and absolutely last child. Ainsley was born on August 7, 2008, about a month before her due date. Mom's water broke unexpectedly and after about 12 hours of a whole-lot-of-nothing, the doctors gave her some stuff called "Pit" to push the baby out. Pit apparently makes labor more painful but Beth once again delivered all-natural by waiting too long to ask for drugs. By the time the drugs were ready, the baby was coming out!



Despite being early, everything appears to be fine with Ainsley. The name is Scottish and is not a family name... we just liked it. Ainsley has been gaining weight steadily and has already published her first academic article: Gastrointestinal Reaction; I Poop When I Eat. We are all waiting on her second piece, an expose entitled Why Does My Poop Look Like Gritty Mustard; I Didn't Eat Any Mustard.
