Isabella's Birth

Well, we did it...(or rather Beth did it.) Our newest addition came into the world on 12/18/2006 at 5:07pm. She was 19 1/2 inches long and weighed 7lbs 1oz. And she is beautiful - perfect in every way. Beth had a relatively easy labor this time. Aside from the sitting around it went really well. We went in at 4:00am on the 18th to begin the induction and by 9:00am she had received her epidural and was feeling no pain. About 5:00pm the Dr. came in and had her do a couple of pushes to see where she was and stated after the 2nd push..."STOP, I need to get properly dressed for this and we need to call the nursery, I can see the babies head already." The Dr. got ready, the nursery people came in and Beth pushed 3 more times, and Baby Isabella was born!!


Here she is getting cleaned up.

Everyone is home now, and all are doing well. Now it is just a matter of getting into the routine of two, instead of just one!!!
