The Pirate’s Arrival

September 30, 2008 By

And here’s the birth story…finally…oh, and it’s kinda long, so get comfy… Saturday morning when Lydia woke up at 4:30, I had already been up since 2:30. I felt sure that Asa was sitting on my bladder. Then I couldn’t go back to sleep because I was listening to Lydia flail about in the bed [...]
