Baby Update

Baby Isabella weighs 8# 0 oz; 20 1/4 inches long and has lots of light brown hair. She is nursing and then Lori is hoping to get a much needed nap. Momma and baby are doing great! I haven't heard how daddy is doing. I'm sure he is very excited though.

Wow, I just had checked the blogs and now all these updates! Congrats on the newest baby to join the family! Lori didn't have too long a time for labor which is good. Did DeAnn make it in time? By law, can Rachel deliver her sister's baby?

I bet you can't wait to get home tonight, pack and hit the road very early tomorrow morning.

I have a baby gift all ready to mail.

Tina,

The hospital bylaws "suggest" that physicians shouldn't care for immediate family members: spouse, siblings, children, parents. It's not really written in stone, but the way we did it worked out good for everyone. I got to be there, and make sure Lori got the VIP treatment.

I'm sure Lori loved having you there to give the VIP service until your cousin came to deliver Isabella. Kinda nice have two OB/GYNs in the family.
