I am so excited to introduce you all to my new, beautiful niece - Isadora Marilyn! She was born September 22, at 4:48pm. She weighed 6 pounds 11 ounces and was 19 inches long.
I thought it was pretty cool that they stamped her feet directly onto Kirk's forearms.
Long story short... Isadora had been breech for many weeks. When Abbey went in for the scheduled c-section, they did a last minute ultra-sound and found that the baby had flipped. Abbey had really hoped for a natural delivery, so she was ecstatic! I was so excited (and honored) because Abbey told me that I could be in the delivery room if I could make it in time (how nice is that, since never in a million years did I want anyone in the room with me?!?!?). Unfortunately, by the time I left school and was on the road - I missed my sweet niece's delivery by a half hour - 30 stinkin' minutes!!! It was still so special to meet her so soon after her entry into this world!
My mom was able to be there for the delivery (she was there for Linc's also).
I just love the smell of new babies - and the warmth of their smooth skin!
Quin and I went back to visit the day that Abbey and Isa (pronounced Eeeesa) came home.
It didn't take long for her to find the perfect niche in my dad's neck :)
Quin was immediately smitten with her! We would be rich if we had a penny for every kiss Quin gave her that day.
Look at that dark hair - she may end up looking more like my sister :)

Quin has talked often about going back to cuddle with baby Isa! I love this picture. Quin kept looking at her and whispering things to her like "Do you want to be friends?" and "I can't wait until you can play dress up with us!".
I am so happy that Isadora has joined our family and can't wait until the next time I get see her!
