Hello there! I decided to start this blog so that family and friends can get updates about our little girl, Isabella Love. We welcomed our beautiful daughter on April 10, 2009 at 2:37 p.m. in Wichita, Kansas. She came a little earlier than expected but as you know babies come when THEY want to and not when YOU decide. Needless to say, parenthood has been exciting. I had no clue what was in store for us. Of course you read the baby and parenting books and take the classes....but you never really have an idea what it is truly like until you are holding that baby in your arms. You practice in those classes with plastic baby dolls for goodness sake! Anyways, since we are beginning this blog today and Isabella is already 5 weeks and 2 days..I should get everyone up to speed...
Some Stats:
At birth Isabella weighed: 6 pounds and was 19 inches long.
At her 2 week appointment: she was 6 pounds 4 oz. and 19 3/4 inches.
A nurse at this appointment referred to Isabella as "small and mighty"....so true!
Right now we have don't know her weight exactly but know she is definetly bigger. She has quite the appetite for a little girl. So far she has had many visitors. Fortunatly, Grammy and Abuelo (my parents) were here in Wichita visiting during Spring Break when little Ms. Isabella decided to enter this world!
Her Grandma Andrea from Cambridge, MA came to visit Isabella when she was 7 days old! Isabella had an amazing time getting to know her Grandma Andrea! Many pictures were taken so that her pictures could shared all over the proud grandmother's work with coworkers and friends.
Grammy and Abuelo came back the week of Mother's Day! Of course she was spoiled (I was too!) Jeff and I got a much needed date night. We went and enjoyed Sushi (something I really couldn't eat when I was pregnant). We had an amazing Mother's Day with them. We went to our favorite restaurant and then out for ice cream. Isabella behaved herself too! No crying during lunch!
Uncle Eduardo came to visit Isabella last week. He arrived the day after my parents left. We all had an amazing time. It was his first time in Wichita so we showed him around and took him to our favorite spots. He loved playing with her and came up with different nicknames for her too.
So far here are Isabella's favorites:
Eating, Being held, being in her carseat (car or stroller, being sung to (she likes Michael Buble),napping in your arms, her papasan cradle swing, her gym mat, she is starting to like baths (she doesn't know what to think just yet), her basinette, being swaddled, our dog, General. He loves her too.
Isabella's non-favorites:
Wet diapers, Her bouncer (depends on her mood),and being hungry (she has a short fuse).
Anyways we will keep posting. This Saturday, Grandma Andrea and Uncle Natie come to visit. We know Isabella is excited to meet Uncle Natie and see Grandma Andrea again
