Success!

Isabella has been trying very hard to eat her toes. They've just been so elusive. Finally she saw her goal in front of her and really focused to accomplish it. We couldn't be prouder.

Sleeeeeeeeeeeeeep

Isabella has been developing in a lot of ways. But my absolute favorite is her growing into a legitimate sleep schedule. She has been doing exceptional at night; can't say that with naps but we are working on it.

Last night she slept for 13 hrs and only ate once! She didn't even wake up to eat, I just did a dream feeding when I went up to bed. This morning for the first time ever she woke up happy and cooing in her crib.

Now we are watching Peppa Pig with Sophie the giraffe and couldn't be happier.

10 Things

Here are the things that are different after having a baby:

1. Grocery shopping, and running errands, and making dinner, and...you know what, EVERYTHING takes longer to accomplish

2. There's not a day where I can say "I have no laundry to do today"

3. There is an adorable little face greeting you every morning

4. People stare at you, and it's ok

5. Brightly colored plastic objects are now the choice decor in your house

6. There is an adorable little face saying goodnight to you every evening

7. The only thing that matters is that she is fed, changed, and napped, and happy. Every other thing in your life comes second

8. There's no such thing as "running out of the house quickly" (similar to number one but different)

9. Everyday is a new look, sound, movement, or other development

10. You can't remember what life was like before you had her

Rollin That a Way

Isabella rolled from her back to her belly today!  I was not a witness of course,  she did it in her crib when I left the room.  I was none the less excited!

40 Weeks and 5 Days Later

She is here! Most everyone knows this already but just in case:

Isabella Blu Hudson
Born 9/17/11 at 10:38 PM
19.5 in long
7 lbs 10 ounces
Apgar Score: 8 @ 1 min 9 @ 5 min (bragging here)

We went to the pediatrician today to get our first check up. Surprise! She is perfectly healthy. And he said she is "not just family cute". Meaning even people outside of our family will think she is cute. We definitely learned we do not like the pediatricians office today though. Being poked and prodded wearing only a diaper is the worst. But all is well now.

Time for pictures!

40 week Check Up

The midwife said she thinks it will happen sometime this week. If not I'll be induced in two weeks. Really hoping it doesn't get to that.

She also said the baby feels about 6 lbs 13 ounces. I don't know how she can possibly know that just by feeling my stomach. Although I also don't know how she can tell other things just by sticking her fingers elsewhere (you know what I'm talking about). It's all amazing to me.

One Day Away!

Sorry if you have texted or emailed me the past couple days and I was slow to respond. I've been getting lit up lately and conveniently decided to "forget" my phone at home :)

So to answer everyone's questions, I'm feeling really good. No the baby isn't coming yet, but trust me, I won't hide it from anyone. Everyone will know when it's time :)

Also lily was cuddling with the belly the other day and I thought it was super cute!
