More Nora Jo!

Our special thanks to Benny and Grammy for updating this blog for us while we were in the hospital so that you didn't have to be kept in suspense for too long! We had to say goodbye to Benny and Sarah on Tuesday evening, but Grammy gets to stay for another 2 1/2 weeks! She has been such a lifesaver. Thanks also to everyone for the thoughts, emails, and calls. Here are a few pictures that we have taken to add to the collection.


Nora is brought up to Mommy while still in the operating room. It was so nice to be awake this time, to hear the "It's a girl!" and Nora's first cry. I felt like my heart was about to burst. And then this perfect little angel was set before me- love at first sight.
Daddy's garb. I don't think the mask can hide the smile!
Our new pride and joy.
Dane seems pretty pleased as well.
Renee inundates us with all the sweet little girl clothes she had been buying, just crossing her fingers that "Joey" would be a girl! She also brought us goodies, lunch, and gifts for Dane. The best friend ever!!
Grammy and Dane inspect Nora's perfection!

I like Dane's orange shirt. Or rather, what it says on his shirt. :-)
