Proud Daddy!!

Kisses for his little girl....she is already a daddy's girl :)

The day our lives changed forever.....

On Saturday May 8, 2010 Josh and I welcomed our sweet baby girl into this world. Isabella Claire entered the world at 5:11pm 7lbs 4oz 19inches long. She is just precious. My labor started on Friday 5.7.10 at 8pm and 21 hours later Isabella finally arrived. It was a very long labor but the end result was so AMAZING!!!

The begnning Friday night....

Saturday after she finally arrived....it was a "rough" day, but once I saw her, it was totally worth every minute of it :)

Our sweet Baby Girl

Just Precious!!!

Maternity Pictures- March 2010

Back in March, we went with a good friend of ours to do some Maternity Picutres. We had a beautiful day and the pictures turned out FANTASTIC! Hope you enjoy them as much as we do :)

Pregnanacy Update

Went to the doctor about a week ago for my 34 week checkup and well little Isabella is still doing FANTASTIC weighing in around 5 lbs, my fluid levels are great and I am measuring a little smaller than I should. However, there is no concern since baby and fluid levels are fine. The doctor also told me that little Bella is VERY LOW, well when she told me....I said "What does that mean" (keep in mind I don't have a clue about any of this.... ha.) My doctor said well this means "she is at the gate ready to go!!" She also said that she does not believe I will make it to 40 weeks. She is thinking maybe about 2 weeks early...but only lilttle Bella will determine that!!
Well today as I type, I am over 35 weeks and little Bella is still VERY LOW, which explains my back aches....however everything else is going fine, so no complaining from me. I can not ask for a better pregnancy, I am still ENJOYING every minute of it, knowing that it will all end shortly. Josh and I just can't wait to meet our precious little girl in a few weeks!!! YAY :) :)

Family Baby Shower ~ March 27, 2010

A few weeks ago, my family blessed me with a wonderful shower. We traveled back home (N.Kentucky) for the shower and it was great!!! My mom and sister did a great job decorating, getting the food, and hosting such a grand baby shower. I could not have asked for anything better. It was so much fun getting to see my family and friends that we have not seen in awhile. I enjoyed catching up with everyone, and was truly blessed with all the wonderful gifts we received. Bella will LOVE each gift :)
32 weeks along.....
