Two weeks old
Well I hope izzy's birth story didn't disappoint. We surely appreciated it being short. :) izzy did amazing at the dr today and here are her numbers:
Weight: 8 lbs 11 oz. 64%
height: 20 inches. 40%
head: 14 inches. 42%
The dr was so impressed with her weight gain. It wad nice to be praised for that instead of chastised. She really is such a good baby so far. Now if we can just get her to sleep through the night at 4 weeks like her cousin, then she'll just be perfect! Lol.

Izzy's Birth Story
Many people have been asking for Izzy's birth story. Well here it is, I hope it lives up to everyone's expectations. :)
40 weeks and still no baby, so we arrived at the hospital on May 26th at 9:30 am to be induced. By 9:50 am I was hooked up to my iv and was checked. I was already at a 5 so they had Dr Haskett come at 10:30 am to break my water. Soon after I was given my epidural, what I would have done without that I don't want to know. Go all you who do without! I would have died. I was progressing so quickly that even the nurses were taking bets for how soon Izzy would come. By 11:40 am I was at an 8 and ten minutes later ready to push. At 12:10 pm Isabella Rose entered the world. She did have to be checked by a special pediatric team because there was meconium when the dr. broke my water, but she didn't inhale any of it. By 2 pm the next day we got to the all clear to go home and I was so happy. Those hospital beds are awful!

A few minutes after being checked by the ped team, I got to hold her.
Already to go home!
So lucky to have so many grandparents! Brad and Joey came this to see Izzy and Gavin this week and I think would have tried to sneak them home, if we hadn't been there to stop them.
