And Then There Were Eight...

It seems that the J family just grows and grows...


First, there were mommy and daddy. Then came Ultra and Turbo. Then came me, Zelda, and Ramona. And, now, we welcome a very noisy and smelly addition to the family...

Mommy and daddy gave her a good start the night before she arrived by going to Scalini's for dinner. Scalini's has a great eggplant parmigiana. Mommy and daddy eat it regularly anyway, BUT legend has it that this wonderful dish also induces labor. Mommy ate to her heart's content and even ordered dessert. Sure enough, mommy's water broke that night at 2:30 am!

I was such a good little girl that I was prepared with my own little hospital gown. I helped mommy concentrate during labor and, boy, was she grateful. After all that motivating, though, I think I was more tired than she was.


It was quite an experience for all of us. Even though I have to share mommy and daddy's attention with Natalie now, I love my human sister lots.

Thanks everyone for all the support!
