CONGRATULATIONS LAUREN & JOHN!!!

I just got the call this morning from Lauren.

Welcome to the world, Ava Day!!!!!
Born 10:14PM April 13, 2005 ~ 7 lbs 6 oz

Lauren will give the long version of what happened when she has a chance, I'm sure. But this is what she told me:

She got to 5 cm in hard labor when the doctor decided to do a C-section because Ava still had not dropped. It's a good thing, too, because she would have been born sunny side up (face up, for those who are not familiar...quite a painful type of labor and delivery). Lauren also added that an epidural is a wonderful thing. :D

Congratulations again, Lauren & John! We look forward to the many, many pictures of Ava that you will share with us!!!
