Oh, Dawn, I am sorry that you weren't called! Hope you have been visiting with your new niece all afternoon! 
Sorry things didn't play out in a way that would have allowed for all of you to share in the first hours of Margot's arrival. I know that you will be an awesome aunt to her whenever you are with her. She is a lucky little baby to have you in her life!
Tell Brett to hang in there and keep his cool in a sticky situation. It'll be the best thing for him and for Margot. Tell him we all send our congratulations, and we know he will be a great dad to his little girl.
Know that many Dis friends are thinking of you today in a special way as you have added this new life to your family. We are hoping for the best things for all of you.

WELCOME TO THE WORLD MARGOT!!!!! 
Dawn, sorry you didn't get the call to be there at her arrival.
I hope it was an honest mistake (i.e. things happened too quickly to call). Enjoy the time you have left to visit with her. You are going to be an awesome aunt, and give you brother a hug from us!

Hey guys....I have pictures 
Sorry they are so small but here ya go!
Margot Rain 7lb 11oz 21in born @ 7:45am
Proud Daddy
I still haven't been able to really talk to Dawn. I just know she had one HECK of a day. They didn't find out about her being born until about 1pm since Jordan never called her. So needless to say they spent the afternoon finding out the best way to handle the situation. She said she would fill everyone in later.
They finally got to go to the hospital about 5pm to see her. And are now getting some dinner and heading home to SLEEP!!
Dawn has to go home in the morning, so I don't know that she will even get to see her again before she leaves.
But I'm sure she is very glad she was here to help her baby brother even though things didn't go as planned.
Thanks for everyone's concern.....I know she will be very happy to see your comments!

thank you all SO MUCH for your congrats and nice thoughts and prayers. they were definitely needed today!
erica - thank you again for keeping everyone updated. i'm so, so sorry we couldn't see each other this trip. it's just been absolutely crazy.
well, i'm not going to go into all the gory details, but to make a long and very sad story relatively short, here's what happened.
a little background.....i don't want to spread my brother's business on the internet but i'm sure i've mentioned that he and jordan are not together any more. they have dated on and off since high school and have always had a very dramatic, volatile relationship. they broke up twice during her pregnancy, the most recent time in january. ever since she's stayed in constant contact with me, always saying she wanted us all to be involved and yada yada yada. we all know it's not the ideal situation to be having a baby in and that they have a lot of growing up to do (brett is 22 and jordan is 23 - but the age thing doesn't matter. that's old enough to have a baby. but they are both still very immature. although i do have to say i saw a lot of maturity in my brother today) but it is what it is and you have to deal with it, you know?
as you know, jordan said if nothing happened last night, that she had a doctor's appointment today at 11 and would call me when she was done with that to update me. her last text to me last night was, "i will call you soon!!!!" around 12:45 today i still hadn't heard anything so i texted her, saying something like, "hope you're still not waiting on the doctor! what did he say?" she texted back this, "margot was born at 7:45 this morning. it all happened really fast. you all can come by around 5:00 today. we are resting now."
this was at 1:00 IN THE AFTERNOON.
when i got this brett and i were sitting at the DMV because he misplaced his license and we were getting a duplicate. i couldn't NOT show him, so i showed him the text and he just sat there with his mouth open. i knew he was gonna lose it so i grabbed the form he was filling out, gave it back to the woman at the counter and we left. when we got out to the parking lot brett just started SCREAMING at the top of his lungs. it was all i could do to get him into the car.
i don't know why she did what she did but the fact is she did it. and the fact is she has promised me for months now that she would call me when they were headed to the hospital. and she didn't. so that makes her a liar. and a dirty one at that. i don't know how she could be so heartless.
i can understand things happening quickly but what i don't understand is how she neglected to call me after it happened to let me know. it took ME texting HER to even find out margot had been born.
we went straight to my stepmom's office where brett just pretty much cried and freaked out for about an hour, while i was on the phone with my dad, my sister, etc. and any attorney i could talk to. one attorney i found was a big help and we ended up going to his office this afternoon. brett hired him and he's going to file a petition for legitimation and will be representing brett in getting his visitation rights, child support.....everything. i think brett felt TONS better after we talked to him because now he knows exactly how all this works.
around 5:00 we went up to the hospital. under the attorney's advice, we all had agreed to be very nice to jordan. she's the one in control right now and as much as i wanted to punch her in the face (and i truly did) we were nice. it was VERY hard for me. i'm the type of person who doesn't like to be fake. and this was VERY fake. but all that mattered was seeing that beautiful baby and seeing the look in my brother's face when he met her. he is the proudest, most doting dad i've ever seen. it really was a touching experience to be there when he met his daughter. here are some pics.
my dad, brett and margot. 3 generations!
i love this picture! i already had a 5x7 printed and framed for brett.
this is my stepmom holding her. she's not really my stepmom any more since she and my dad are divorced. but she was my stepmom for over 20 years and so i still consider her that!
grandpa! he says he wants her to call him, "grand dude."
aunt dawn....
look at her little cone head!
she's so sweet!!!!!
the visit went well as can be expected. of course there was tension in the air but it wasn't our fault. we were as nice as we could be considering the situation. jordan said when she got to the hospital this morning she was dialated to 8. so i have no doubt it went fast once she was there. i just don't understand why i didn't get a phone call afterwards until 5 hours later and only after i contacted her first. we are all just very hurt and betrayed right now. and what's the worst part is it didn't have to be this way. just because parents aren't together doesn't mean you have to act like they are scum of the earth. i could go on and on but i won't.
anyway, margot is here and is healthy and beautiful and that's all that matters now. my brother actually just called me and said he's laying in bed looking at the pictures i had printed for him after our visit. he's so funny.
thanks again for all your kind words.

She is a beautiful little girl, and you can see the love for her in your brothers eyes. Your family will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.
Have fun this weekend.

Oh, Dawn!
You are so right...it didn't have to be this way, and I'm so sorry for your brother...your whole family!
To use a child, a newborn baby, against someone like that is just reprehensible in my eyes! I can feel your hurt in your post, and it made me tear up!
I hope, if for no one else, that she does what's right for little Margot!
Aside from all of that, Margot is absolutely gorgeous! Your brother looks like he's just
with her!

Wow. I don't know what to say. I didn't know they were in that kind of situation. He better get a good lawyer! I have a four male cousins that have full custody of their daughters! It's not unheard of by any means. Margot is a sweetie pie. Her mama not so much. 
I'd wanna slap her in the face too.
Hey...if ya wanna hook him up with Ashley....
Congrats girly! I hope things go well and you get to spoil her like crazy.
Oh I mailed your package too. You should have it soon.

Firstly... yayyyyy for Baby Margot!!! She looks very cute and I'm so glad you got to have a cuddle with her! You all look so proud! 
Secondly... booooo for the nasty situation with Jordan. I feel so sad for you because we all know how excited you were to be there for the birth! I really hope everything gets sorted out happily for Brett, and of course, for Margot.
We know one thing for sure - she has a fabulous Aunt Dawn to make her laugh and dress her in lots of Disney clothes!!!

Margot is a beautiful baby, Dawn. I am so sorry that things turned out the way that they did. It is unfortunate that Jordan has to act that way, particularly since your brother wants to be involved. Good for all of you to be proactive and get a lawyer involved from the beginning.

Margot is beautiful and I'm so glad that you did get to see her before heading home today. You can tell that Brett is totally wrapped around her little tiny finger already! You guys are in my thoughts and prayers as you navigate this sticky situation. Lots of hugs from me and the girls!
