Izabella's First Bottle

Daddy gives Izzy her first bottle!!
My belly is full...

It does not smell like roses...

Since we document all the cute things Izzy does, we thought we should show some of her stinkier milestones.

As we were introducing the pacifier yesterday, she had her first "blow-out." Our laundry has increased quite a bit in these last three weeks!!

16 Million Dollar Photos

Angelina Jolie and Brand Pitt had their twins yesterday and some in the media are saying the first pictures of those two babies are going to go for up to 16 million dollars. We figure that these photos of Izzy are worth at least twice that but we're offering them up free of charge.

Also, I want to thank everyone for all all the kind words, congratulations, food, flowers, gifts and support. We are very lucky to have a beautiful little girl that will be surrounded by people who are so loving and caring. Thank you all!!

Welcome Home Izzy!!

Well, we made it! Izzy is healthy and home. She doesn't quite understand day and night, but we will get there. :)

She is the most amazing thing to have in our lives and we couldn't be happier. Here are some more photos to enjoy from the last 48 hours.

she doesn't even look like a vegetable...

happy b-day, Izzy!!!

it has been a long night, but now we resting up before we start pushing. The nurse says a couple of more hours.

Both mom and baby are doing well and we've made it this far without any pitocin (sp?).

Posting from the labor and delivery room!!

Alicia and Izzy are doing fine (Alicia just got tv epideral). Last we heard it was 5cm. More later.

Is it time?

Alicia and I are at home now, timing contractions and packing up the car. No promises, but it looks like we might be in for a long night.

We'll post an update as soon as we know what's going on. For now, sit tight and we'll keep you all posted on what's happening!

Still Pregnant

Izzy is still not ready. We have a doctor's appointment tomorrow morning and I will update soon afterwards.

Otherwise it is hot & smoky making it impossible to go outside.

No Baby Yet

We are getting closer, but Izzy is still hanging out in my big belly. The doctor said it is up to her when she wants to come out, and gave me no predictions at my appointment on Friday.

More to come...
