welcome Isabelle Grace

well,
it's been a long time, but she's here. Isabelle Grace Welty was born on November 15, 2007 @ 8:30am. She was 20 inches long and 6lbs 13oz. We are thrilled to have her here in the flesh. Sarah did great during labor. She pushed from 4am to 8:30, with a "short" break of 45minutes or so when the epidural began to wear off, until she got some more. The nurse kept telling us that she had a full head of hair, but we didn't believe it till we saw it. It's definitely a full head of hair. Again we are SO excited to have her here, and so is her cousin Landon. He was here with Aunt Jennifer and Aunt Janelle this morning, and he just didn't really know what to make of her. We're all sure that he will love her as time goes on. He wasn't too thrilled when mommy held his new cousin and not her own son, but Aunt Janelle and Grandma helped distract him. We are having lots of visitors and are thrilled to have them. We are getting little naps throughout the day. We'll update more later.

Merry Christmas for the miracle of Isabelle and for adding her to our family.
