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".
