My bestfriend, Crystal, welcomed her second daughter into the world this morning! Isabelle Rene was born at 8:01 am (Michigan time), wieghed in at 7lbs 14ozs, and is 20 3/4 inches long, with a full head of hair. I spoke with Crystal late last night, after she arrived at the hospital and I got the good news when I woke up this morning. Mom and baby are both doing well. Though very tired.

After Crystal was only a few months pregnant she asked if I would be the babys Godmother. Of corse I said yes, my first God-daughter, yay! Mike and I planned to make it back to Michigan for a visit over the summer and I was looking forward to meeting the baby then. Crystal asked if I would like to be in the delvery room with her. We talked for weeks leading up to my visit and I read all kinds of stuff so I would know what to do, but she didn't end up having her while I was there. I wish I could've held her in my arms at least once. Sleep-tight, Isabelle, I'll see you soon! ;)
