The New Baby Girl

Let me introduce to you our new Grand Baby Girl, Dakota Jo Anne Keyes. She was born on March 18, 2009 at 9:47 pm. She weighed 7 lbs. 6 oz. and was 21 inches long. She is the most beautiful baby girl alive. Her proud parents are my daughter Jenn and her husband, Shawn.

I was so very fortunate to be able to be a part of the labor and delivery. On March 17, my 46 Birthday, I flew up from Burbank to arrive in Spokane at 1 in the afternoon. Jenn had a doctors appointment at 3:30. We made it to my Birthday dinner at The Porch, www.wedonthaveone.com, one of my favorite Coeur d'alene restaurants. We got home that evening and proceeded to watch Dances With Stars, decided to get to bed around 11 pm. Jenn went to take a shower. When she came out she lets the household know that her water just broke. "OK, well here we go for a long 24 + hour hospital labor and delivery room stay!"
Long story short, she ended up having to have a C-section after 2 and 1/2 hours of pushing. It wasn't an emergency, but quite necessary after all. Lil' baby was turned the wrong way so she wouldn't have made it all the way through on her own anyway.
Here she is!!
