Birth. April 30, 2009. Piper Frances June Johnson.

Piper was born on April 30, 2009 at 8:40 AM, tipping the scales at a svelte 7lbs 11 ounces considering her 22 inch frame.


Piper, et. al. left the good doctors and nurses of Kaiser for the more familiar and comfortable surroundings of 421. Although free to go after 24 hours, et. al. made the right call spending the second night at the hospital as Piper, true to her name, piped. Perhaps et. al should have named her Sleeper?


Piper is home and although she is losing wait, et. al. have been eating well (i.e. sushi and beer, Pizza Delfina, meatloaf …) The docs recommended supplementing Piper’s meals with formula and after only a few feedings, et. al. remain optimistic with Piper’s new sumo training schedule (eat, sleep, eat, stretch, sleep, repeat).


A big thanks to everyone. Piper et. al. certainly can feel your love and support (yes, we can feel it.) Enjoy the pictures and tales to come …

  1. Yay! Welcome home, Piper (and Julie and Jeremiah). So glad you all are home and doing well, if a little sleep deprived.

    Looking forward to many more updates and posts, especially until I get the chance to meet Piper in person.

    Love,
    emily
