kathryn michelle (kate) sweet was born on friday, march 6 at 11:16pm. i had been to the hospital that morning for a non-stress test because my amniotic fluids were borderline low. they wanted to be cautious. i was told to go home but that i could go at anytime..... i was 3.5 cm and 50% effaced. i went home and had 4 ounces of castor oil. labor started for real 2 hours later...... we got to the hospital around 8 and were admitted. i started pushing around 10:50 and 25 minutes later she was out. it was hard and i asked for my epidural too late. whoops. we got to come home yesterday afternoon and start acclimating to life as a family of five. my mom flew in yesterday and is on boy duty. she has already done bath time, played hide and go seek, brushed teeth and changed diapers. sweet potato actually let me get a couple of straight hours of sleep last night and is doing great. they boys and mimi are off to the grocery to get us some food for the week. i am glad to be home!

Do we have to do it again tomorrow?
hope the day wasn't as scary as he might have thought it would be.
leaving my baby is one of the reasons I'm homeschooling (minor reason of course!)....I would have been a teary eyed mess leaving him at school! :) can't believe you both did so well!
you both did well! hooray!
sidenote-- those nuclear fall out shelter signs in nyc (like the one above your school's entrance) always take me off guard when i spot them. so weird...
Love the pics--could Asher be any cuter?
I hope he's adjusted well and is loving it!
