On Friday, January 24, 2003, around 11p.m. in the evening, I received a phone call from my friend Rosie. She was past the delivery due date for the birth of her 5th son. She had been stressing all week, and had called me to tell me how her doctor's appointment the day before had gone. She said that they would have to consider inducing labor the next week if she didn't have the baby naturally by Monday.
As the phone call ended, I told her to "Think happy thoughts" that the baby would come soon and on it's own. With some static on the phone connection, she misunderstood me and thought I said Kathy Potts, and she exclaimed "who's Kathy Potts?" We jokingly concluded that Kathy Potts must be the Baby Fairy. Surely enough, I received a phone call the next morning around 6a.m. that baby Zander had been born in the wee hours of the morning.
Before going to visit her and baby Zander in the hospital, I drew this illustration of Kathy Potts and gave it to her and Zander.
