nora!

November 27th, 2007 by clunis

You can stop guessing, she’s here! Nora Evelyn McGowan was born Monday, 11/26/2007 at 8:41am. She weighed 6lbs 1.5oz and was 19 1/4 inches long. Mom had been in labor since about 10:30 Friday evening and, despite that, we only made it into the delivery room 18 minutes before she was born. It’s a long story (and we’ll write about it here eventually). :)

Here are some pictures of the new baby and our new family.

    Congrats to both of you and welcome to the happiest, littlest McGowan on the block!

    Jen, labor since Friday? Maybe you should tell me the full story after next May…

    The only thing I like better than seeing little Nora bundled up with Dad is his awesome Gryffindor t-shirt!

    XOXO

    Nora is a doll! I am *so* happy for all of you. All I can think of to say is, “Fine reproduction!”

    (I hope you still have the flannel baby blanket with the yellow duckies I made for you when were still at Argus.)

    Love ya.

    Well, at least you made it to the hospital- you know my story, Jen! Oh so happy for all of you, and thankful that Nora (and a very nice name, to boot!) is here healthy. As I said to Kevin in response to the “She’s here!” E-mail, let me know if you need stuff cleaned at home, or if you’d like a nice home-cooked meal and dessert. Peace out- laundry calls!
