Regardless of the circumstances surrounding a new baby - the birth itself seems to - if only momentarily - cause a neutrality, a calm - a truce to all prior conflicts and petty indifferences.

So, this is our peacekeeper for the moment: Haylie. Born at my favorite time: 11:11 on November 12th - weighing in at an impressive 9 pounds 6.5 ounces.

And when the calm passes and reality returns - Kayla will be a great mom both despite and because of the circumstances.
