We unexpectedly went into labor late Wednesday night. After suffering through tears and trembling for over an hour, they finally determined, "yes, this is real labor (though I was not progressing), and, yes, we will go ahead with the C-section. Oh, and get her an epidural." I was planning on skipping all of that on Monday, but this girl could not wait. So, at 4:36 A.M., February 14th, 2008, baby Avery Mae LaDuke was born, weighing in at a whopping 8lbs. 2 oz. and 20.5" long. She has a tiny delicate face with large almond shaped eyes. Her hair is dark brown, and her eyes are blue. She is a little louder than her forerunner, but she is very sweet and precious. We find it fitting that she was born on Valentine's because a tremendous amount of love for a new family member was born into each of our hearts
when we did not think there was room enough for more. 
So, I never really write enough about my Super husband, and Callie's Super Daddy, Cameron. We are all very proud of him. He works so dilligently to do his best in all his endeavors. He earns great grades, and when he is home he works hard at his fatherly, and domestic duties. We really are lucky to have such a wonderful man in the family. Recently, we bought him a new suit at a local Macy's that is closing. Original price was around $600, we got it for $80. What a steal! We also stocked up on new dress shirts, ties, and belts. He looks so handsome dressed like a real professional. Well, it looks like all his hard work and shnazzy looks are not all for nothing. He just landed an internship for the summer with the Chief Judge, the Honorable John M. Roll, of the Federal District Court in Tucson, Arizona. What a prestigious position for a 1L. We know Cameron will do an excellent job. We are very proud of our Superman in the family (It didn't hurt that a certain Aaron LaDuke works as Judge Roll's court reporter. CL).
