About time, is it?

Well it is official. We have a girl in our family that wasn't brought forth through mariage. My brother Dan and his wife Corallee had a baby girl. It wasn't supposed to happen for another 6 weeks but I guess she was in a rush to get out.

It was a weird night, at about 12:00 midnight I got a call from Dan saying that there were some complications with Corallee and so Michelle and I booked it over to their house to stay with Marcus while Dan and Corallee went to the hospital. We hung out there for a few hours until Corallee's mom came in from Beausejour. They thought that the babe might make a run for it and the doctors injected some steriods to help the baby's lungs start working.

Some time in the afternoon the kid was born. The newest Steinhilber, a little girl weighing 3lbs, 11 oz. For now we don't get to see her up close and personal. We have to wait 3 weeks minimum which is kind of a bummer. I wonder what Marcus will think of the little girl.

Funny enough, Dan and Corallee were having a little disagreement at Mother's Day about getting the room ready for the baby and we all said there is plenty of time... Well I guess we might have to help Dan out a little bit so that it is ready when the babe gets home.

So what is the name of the new one? Not sure. It was so unexpected that they haven't picked a name. Knowing the parents, it might be a week before she has one. For now I will call her BOJ. Bundle of Joy.

Anyways, keep them (Dan, Corallee, Marcus and the new kid on the block) in your prayers.
