Nora Katherine MacDonald
Born Sunday, June 27 @ 11:09 am. Weighing in at 6lbs 9 oz. 19 1/2 inches long. She is beautiful. I have too few words to describe this amazing journey, so I will try to do it in pictures. This may take a while...
Time to head to the hospital - Just before 1am

We got to the room around this time - AM!
OK, we'll skip the grunting, pushing and yelling -- she's here!
Mom and Nora
Happy Birthday, baby!
Love at first sight

We have had the most amazing experience here at St. Joes -- everyone has been wonderful. We love every single nurse and midwife who gave us so much support along the way. They were so patient with me through my 2 and a half hours of pushing! I think Nora was happy not to have any drugs in her system when she was born. She was so alert and happy for hours after delivery. She was certainly willing to eat her first meal of yummy and nutritious colostrum. Yay!
Stay tuned for more photos of Nora -- and probably a whole lot less rambling on about mommy and daddy!
Thanks for all your kind words, support, food and treats (grammy)!
Love,
Patty, Jamie and Nora
