Doing well!!!!

Isabella is adjusting very well in spite of a nasty cold she developed yesterday. She is very attached to both Kevin and me but is comfortable with all the grandparents and the many friends who have spotted by to see her.

After four days in a row of visits to Children's Lab to get blood drawn, we had success yesterday. The nurses in the outpatient lab were again unsuccessful in getting blood so they called in a specialist. First stick, 5 vials of fresh, red blood! The hospital will run all the appropriate tests and we will get the results next week at Isabella's appointment.

She is sleeping much better through the night in her own crib in her own room. She likes to get a bottle between 10:30-midnight but then sleeps until 9am the next morning. We are hoping that this continues but it may be because she is sick.

Thank you all so much for your wonderful comments and prayers of support. We really enjoy reading them and seeing how many people are watching us as we try to be great parents.

Enjoy the photos!

I can't express how excited I am to finally be an aunt from my sister. Everytime I look at her and see pictures of her, I get an instant smile. She is so adorable and beautiful, I can't help but brag and show her off. Jen, I can't wait till you feel the happiness that I'm feeling when I have a baby.
I love all 3 of you!! ;-)
