Corina is born!



Corina DiFranco Field was born at 8:35pm on Thursday, May 25. For Estela, it was a long, hard labor, but a glorious, triumphant birth. We were attended by an all-star labor support team that included Estela's colleagues Kate Winkler (midwife) and Julie Cristol (doula), along with the wonderful staff at Pennsylvania Hospital.
