The California Baxters

Kim, Kevin, Ella, Scott and...

Sean Theodore Baxter

Born March 31, 2004 — 9:15am
9 lbs 3 oz — 21 inches

Suzie's note after Sean's arrival — April 9,2004

His birth size puts him between Ella and Scott in weight and is the longest (tallest?). I'm not sure who he looks like but he is definitely different from Ella and Scott. Grammy Marge reports that from photos he looks more like Kevin than the first two.

Back to home


Two or three days before the due date the newest Baxter arrived at UCLA Medical Center to great fanfare. In the afternoon of the same day Kevin defended his dissertation at USC and we can now call him "Doctor"! All are doing wonderfully and are still excited.

I had the privilege of being present for Sean's birth (THANK YOU Kim and Kevin for inviting me and Beth Siracuse for making it possible). It is all really amazing and wonderful to see so many people working together to make a positive experience for all. Special thanks go to Beth, Kim and Kevin's doula, the UCLA nursing staff and the residents on duty that morning!

At 11am Beth S. arrived with Ella and Scott. Scott was funny to watch as he was not surprised that Sean was a boy because that was what he had ordered. Ella was excited but casual because she had been through it all before. FUN!!

At 12:30pm Kevin left to go to USC to defend his dissertation. He returned at about 3 eligible to be called "Doctor". It was certainly a BIG day for all of us!

Hope you enjoy the pictures!
