Your life began one night after a Phish concert…

When this woman …

And this man…

Well, you know.

And you grew and grew…

And we had parties for you even though you didn’t show up – but everyone brought you presents…
![Page 8: Julian James Durum McConnell's Birth Story](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020110/55a323221a28abbc7c8b4613/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Really cool presents, too!
Obviously, this is before Daddy’s haircut

And Mommy insisted on taking hikes, long, treacherous hikes, to try and make you come out (you can ask her about this idea yourself)
Scary narrow trail overlooking steep drop to frigid river

It must have worked, because one night, she couldn’t stop dancing…

And she felt really bad…
![Page 12: Julian James Durum McConnell's Birth Story](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020110/55a323221a28abbc7c8b4613/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
And the animals could tell there was something wrong, so they followed her around.
Cute Dog
Fat cat

And Daddy felt Mommy’s pain, too
It’s called sympathy pains, but it basically means Daddy’s crazy
![Page 14: Julian James Durum McConnell's Birth Story](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020110/55a323221a28abbc7c8b4613/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Mommy tried to relieve some of the pain by taking a bath…
She drank some booze, too. But don’t worry, you should be okay (we hope)
![Page 15: Julian James Durum McConnell's Birth Story](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020110/55a323221a28abbc7c8b4613/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
And another bath at the birth center. This bath was in a big pool in which she moaned in agony for hours and hours.
Juice

But you finally arrived!Notice dome shape
![Page 17: Julian James Durum McConnell's Birth Story](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020110/55a323221a28abbc7c8b4613/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
With all this goo on you, too.

And we were happy.

Daddy got to hold you, skin to skin…
Daddy needs to work out some more, and he knows.

And we weighed you (7 Ibs 14 ozs) and we measured you (21 ¼ inches)
![Page 21: Julian James Durum McConnell's Birth Story](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020110/55a323221a28abbc7c8b4613/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
But mostly we held you and looked at you.

And we were happy!
Andrea, the nurse
Suzanna, the midwife

And we brought you home the very same night.
Painfully adorable outfit

You slept off and on…
Bundle of Joy

But Mommy didn’t.(Daddy might have gotten a few hours.)
