DJ Audie K in da House!


At long last, Chickpea, or Audrey Katherine are her parents have taken to calling her, has arrived! The important stats are: October 1st, 9:12 pm at Mt. Auburn Hospital in Cambridge, MA, weighing 7.5 lbs and measuring 19 inches. All together, labor and delivery took about 7 or 8 hours, and we only spent three of those at the hospital. Scott drove from Arlington to Cambridge with the hazards on all the way, trying to avoid potholes and help Kris breath through contractions. Audrey was delivered by Robin, the midwife, Wanda, the doula (labor assistant) and Scott, who stayed on his feet and by Kris's side throughout-- even when there was some fairly loud yelling coming from Kris. He never let go of her hand, and he was there to cut the cord as soon as Audrey got herself freed from Kris.
