    Congrats!!! I’m starting to feel a little left out. I’m 8 days late, here and just got an announcement in the mail that Kari and Z had a little girl (Helen) mid-July.
    Hope you are all feeling as good as possible!
    Congratulations, again. And how does that reverse jinx work?

    Hooray! I can’t believe she came mere hours after book club. I guess you just needed a good meal and some chocolate cake…

    Congrats from me and Eric!

    Congratulations you guys!! I’m so jealous of a 2 1/2 hour labor! Wow! Viggo’s was 38 hrs and I’m hoping that this 2nd one is like your 2nd one, yep, we’re pregnant.

    I’m so happy for you guys and she’s beautiful! I sure do miss you guys and all of the birth to 3-ers.

    Yahoo! Was it the 3rd jog up Mt. Pisgah that brought on labor? Watch out, Silas was 2 weeks late and wouldn’t even come out with inducement. That kid still doesn’t move fast for anybody! Glad to see another boy-girl nuclear family in our Norman Rockwell Pleasantville we call Eugene. Except with hippies. Cheers!!!
