It's been eight years since this happened!

Well, it is now a matter of official public record! After a long break the Lawrensons are having an afterthought. I don't know if any baby has ever caused such a stir; my younger sisters are especially ecstatic. The other day I saw Phoebe reading a parenting book, that was, I think, some 400 pages long. And that is only the start of it. We are committed to making sure that this child is perfect. That also includes not having any contact with the outside world once it is born, so if you had any hopes of seeing or holding this kid before the age of six you can forget about it. All that you will hear is rare facebook updates, and my complaints about lack of sleep.
