Watch Me Grow!!!

Eric and I have decided to track Isabelle's growth by taking pictures of Isabelle at each milestone with Eric's childhood teddy bear, Jamie.  Check out the pictures below to see how much our little peanut has grown in her first two months.  I can't believe how big she has gotten these past two months and I cherish every day with her of these next two weeks before I have to return to work.

Here she is at only three days old.  Her first day home from the hospital!

She is hiding from the camera a bit and leaning heavily on Jamie at two weeks old.

At one month, she is better at holding herself up and has grown quite a bit!

Today, at two months, she has the smiling thing down just not the looking at the camera part :)

Baptism

Isabelle Jean was baptized into the christian family on June 3, 2012.  She was a bit fussy throughout, except when the water was being poured on her head.  This little girl loves water. :)

The Making of Grandparents

My parents came down the first full week Isabelle was home from the hospital to help out and meet the little bundle joy that moved them into grandparent status.  How excited they were to meet their first little grand baby, especially knowing they could give her back to mom or dad when she got fussy!!! :)

Newborn Photo Opp

Here are the newborn pictures we had taken of our little sweetheart right before heading home from the hospital.

Welcome to the world Isabelle Jean

Hello everyone!

Sorry it has taken so long to get back to posting on here.  Eric and I have been busy adjusting to life with our little bundle of joy that finally arrived at 1:13 pm on April 11, 2012.

Isabelle Jean was 8 lbs 10 oz and 21 inches long at birth - a beautiful and healthy little girl.  Her birth came after 30 hours of labor starting from the beginning of the induction process at 7 am on April 10th.  The delivery was a little rough on mommy and mommy is still in recovery mode.

Due Date - Came and Went

Here we are at 40 weeks

Baby Girl apparently wants to make a fashionably late entrance into the world, as she is now three days overdue and I'm still not in labor.  She also missed her opportunity to share her birthday with her paternal grandmother, Carla, whose birthday was Baby Girl's official due date - March 31st.

If anyone has any suggestions on how to encourage our little one to get a move on, please let us know :)
