Betsy and Brett welcomed Corinne Elyse into the world at 3:01 a.m on December 26. She weighed in at 7 pounds, 5 ounces, and measured 19.25 inches long. She's got a patch of golden brown hair and has slate-colored eyes. And she's beautiful! She's got a sweet little face that will melt your heart.
Betsy started having regular contractions on the morning of Christmas Eve, and she and Brett went to the hospital in the early afternoon on Christmas Day. I was at the hospital with Grandma Jeanne and Grandpa Don when Corinne arrived. We had been eagerly anticipating her imminent arrival for quite some time, and it was worth the wait!
We spent just a few minutes with Betsy, Brett, and Corinne -- just enough time for each of us to hold Corinne. I was also able to snap these few photos. They were taken about 40 minutes after Corinne was born. And Betsy, as you can see, looks fantastic! From what I saw, Team Schatz was cool, calm, and collected from start to finish.
Good work and congratulations, Betsy and Brett. And welcome to the world, Corinne!

Congratulations Betsy & Brett (and to Aunt Marcey too)! I have been checking this and your Dear Sisters blog in anticipation of your daughter's arrival (it must be a mom thing). I hope you enjoy these early days getting to know Corinne (and her you too)! It's all a bit overwhelming at first, but hang in there. It gets easier (and harder still) as you get the hang of it. All the best, Shauna (and Mark & Charlotte too)!
Congratulations, Brett and Betsy!! We are so happy for your--the journey begins! It is the most wonderful thing in the world. We can't wait to meet her.
