Miss Isabella

Here are some pictures of our sweet little girl. Her hair is really dark like the rest of our kids when they were born, it probably won't stay that way. The last picture I was feeling really relaxed with some good drugs and an epidural. I don't do well with pain. Some ladies at an assisted living place here knitted hats and booties for the infants, they turned out so cute.

Glad to be home

Just a quick note and I'll post pictures later. Isabella Sarah was born on Feb. 24 at 11pm. We thought she weighed 8 lbs. 4 oz and 19 in long, however we later discovered that the nurse weighed her wrong because when they went to weigh her again she only weighed 6 lbs. 13 oz. We freaked out a little thinking there was something horribly wrong with her but no she is just fine and the pediatrician said that she must have been weighed wrong intially because she is eating, peeing and pooping just fine. S0 she weighes 6.13 ilbs. Sadly we don't know what she weighed right when she was born, oh well. She is so sweet though. I love new babies. Hope everyone is doing well.

Still waiting.......

It's official, I have never been pregnant this long. My doctor didn't give me much encouragement at my appointment yesterday which was quite upsetting. To add to my frustration, they scheduled my next appointment for me, the day after my due date. I am really trying to stay positive but it's hard when you just can't move anymore.

Waiting for baby....

Well, we are almost down to the wire, I will be 38 weeks tomorrow and I'm starting to feel a bit uncomfortable. So glad that I don't have to deal with school anymore. With our last baby, Noah, I was in the middle of my first semester of nursing school when I had him and that complicated things. We are hoping that she will come this weekend, all of my babies have come at least a week early and that has been so nice. However, one of my boys woke up puking this morning so I'm glad that she isn't here yet.

Wanted to say thanks to my awesome friends here that threw me a baby shower last weekend and to all of those that showed up and supported us. So nice to have good friends even when one decides to skip out and go on a date with her husband instead. (Just kidding Carolyn, I know it was pre-planned)

To update on Kristoffer, in case you haven't seen Audrie's blog, he went back into the hospital last night for a fever which unfortunately happens when you are on chemo and have a depleted immune system. Thankfully they are able to take him to the hospital close to where they live. He is doing well other than the fever though and they are running antibiotics through his port to try to fight any infections. Keep him and his family in your prayers. By the way the fundraiser dinner went really well from what I hear and they had way more people show up than expected.
