Our newest member of the family entered the world today at 10:31 am on St. Patricks Day, March 17, 2008. Isabelle Josephine weighed in at 8lbs, 14 oz and ‘stood’ about 20 inches tall. Phaedra is doing quite well, having had a reasonably easy labor, if delivering a baby can ever be easy. Marcel and Phaedra went to Unity hospital around 4am and delivered their daughter 6 1/2 hours later.
Zander seemed quite excited to have a little sister, although he thought she should be named Cinderella. Z will spend most of the next several days with Grandma Terry, Phaedra’s mom. Hopefully, Papa Joey will be able to make it up this weekend to meet his new granddaughter. Phaedra and Isabelle will go home on Wednesday.
