Ada Mae was born on December 8th 2001 in our San Francisco apartment.  Kate spent transition and second stage singing and basking in a rented collapsible birthing tub.  The tub did not collapse.  Matthew provided support and precise positioning of hands and other body parts.  Lucy was the first to officially identify the baby's sex as male.  She later retracted this claim.  However, she stands by her original assessment of Ada as "so cute".
