My beautiful niece, Miss Gracie Kay

Gracie Kay with her Build-a-Bear from Nathan and Matthew

After many hours of labor, Gracie Kay was finally born via c-section Saturday around noon(ish). I don't know the exact time, heck I can barely remember the exact time of my own children. Anyway, she weighed in at 6 pounds 7 ounces (a lightweight for a Pagels!) and 19 1/4 inches. She is so cute and tiny! I never much cared for babies until I had my own, and still sometimes think some newborns are really ugly, but she is a cutie! And I'm not just saying that because she's my niece! ;) Anyway, Gracie did get an infection and a temperature and has to have an IV in but it sounds like she is doing a lot better now, thank God. Miranda seems to be doing well, too, she is such a trooper and just keeps insisting it wasn't that bad and she's fine. And it was so cute to see Andy as a father. He's always been a great uncle, but it's hard to picture him as a dad, especially to a girl, but I think they'll both be great parents! Congratulations guys, and thanks for making me an aunt, I can't wait to spoil her!

I forgot to say that tell her to take it slow after the c-section. It will take a while to be able to move around without pain, but it does go away. I promise!
