The sisters meet!

Well, folks, the moment we've all been waiting for....

Nora Jean C. gracefully entered the world at

3:55 a.m. August 26, 2007, weighing in at a demure

5 pounds, 12.6 ounces, 20 inches long. She is so

tiny and long but was very alert and she has the

cutest little kitty cat cry!! Way to go, Beck and Scott!

Becky had been in labor from 1 a.m. Saturday or so.

Went into the hospital at around 3 or 4 a.m. and was

dilated to 3.5 cm. They sent her home, she proceeded

with her day as planned, napping, contracting and

walking when she could and should, even attending

her sis-in-law's surprise birthday party. I got the call

at nearly 1 a.m. on Sun. morning that they were

heading back into the hospital and this time, B.

didn't sound so perky...Mom, Molly and I got the call

to head in. At 2:30 a.m. or so, Beck got her epidural

(You go girl!!) and dilated all the way to 10 in this time.

Funny thing is, her real ob/gyn was out of town so

the on call doc, a nice dude, said she could push when

she was ready. Four (or less) good, hearty pushes later, and out

she slithered...in all her tiny, gooey glory! She is nursing well

and everything is where it needs to be. She is adorable!! She also

has the tiniest butt on earth, and we just aren't sure where she

got this butt of hers!

My mom and Molly got to stay in the room for the delivery,

which was awesome, even though B. was told she could only

have 2 in with her.

I guess the Labor and Delivery dept. is a little more relaxed

in the wee hours of the morning. It was so cool that Molly

got to be in the room to welcome her new "baby" cousin.

She will always be able to tell Nora that she is older than her

but knowing my sister's kids, Nora will be bossing Molly

around and Molly will let her (and then proceed to write "Nora

is mean" in her notebook. funny story accompanies this, ask

me or B. sometime)

O yeah, Pipes got there right before I left for the "first meeting".

Mom, Molly and I left right before 6 a.m. Nora was getting

cleaned up by the nurse and she let out a few strong,

not so quiet cries!! She does NOT like to have her feet

touched or to have her pic taken!! We are so glad you

made it safely, little peanut! Now to fatten you up a bit!!

Thanks to any and all of you that prayed for my sister

and her family!! Her delivery was incredible and I am

blessed to have been a leg holder!! doesn't get much

better than that! I Love You, Becky!! Good work!

I have more pix to post but I'm zonked, Molly needs

to eat and I may try to sleep!! har har. We will be

right back.
