Another Shower

Earlier in the day, on the day Elizabeth decided to make her appearance, I had a research team meeting.  It is a large group, and we often have food and find a reason to celebrate at our meetings.  This meeting, they decided to have a "welcome baby" celebration.  They brought in lots of pink cupcakes, punch, and all chipped in to give me a very generous gift certificate to buy Elizabeth some new clothes, so she would not always have to wear her sister's hand-me-downs. 

Little did we know that I would be in labor later that evening, after I went to bed.
