My cousin, Tanya called last night to tell me that her niece was born yesterday morning. And that Tanya got to deliver her, herself! They got to the hospital in the early hours of the morning so my other cousin, Chad's wife, Amanda could be induced. Unfortunately, they had to wait due to an emergency c-section. But, apparently, it didn't take too long after labor started. The baby slid right out, almost landing on the floor. A nurse was in the room, checking vitals or something, but Tanya was the only one in position to catch the baby as she slid right out. But, the nurse was close enough to get drenched by the fluid that had come out. Chad was outside the room calling for help, so he missed the birth. Pretty exciting day!
Sarah Lynn Shea Neyland was born at around 10:58 a.m. (Too much going on for anyone to think of recording the exact time). She was 7 lbs 4 oz 19 3/4 in. long.
I wonder how 11 mo old big brother, Nathan will like having a little sister. I can imagine he'll be a bit jealous. I hear he's a mama's boy (but then, aren't they all, at that age?) We're making plans for me to go down there for a visit in the next week or so, hopefully. My aunt and her family from Michigan will be coming down this week to visit for awhile. They timed it just right.


Here's some pics I just got of the baby.
