Every day, as we watch Isabelle grow and develop into her own little person, I realize more and more how truly blessed we are to have her in our lives. To just think back to the day we found out we were pregnant with this surreal idea of a child growing in me for nine months and then to now see this incredibly beautiful girl in our arms in what seemed to be just seconds later -- it is truly a miracle.
Since Isabelle was born 5 weeks ago, I have now heard two different stories of mothers who recently had similar deliveries to mine - overly lengthy pushing. Unfortunately, neither of the stories turned out with as an incredible result as mine. Although both babies survived the experience, one has suffered from bleeding in his brain and will most likely have permanent brain damage; and the other has had permanent physical damage to his face and head. To think that our little Isabelle went through the same traumatic experience as these other babies, but came out with only temporary wounds to her head is truly a miracle to me.
Our Heavenly Father has truly blessed us with such a beautiful baby who is growing and developing perfectly. Beyond all other blessings that I have received in my life, this has been the most miraculous. I will forever feel indebted to Heavenly Father for the blessing of our beautiful daughter.

Oh, she is such a cutie...I can't wait to see her and for her and Demsey to hang out :) Let us know when you're going to bless her, although we'll be gone to California labor day weekend b/c Christofer's brother and sister-in-law had twins and are blessing them then. The babies room is adorable by the way!
Jenn, she is so cute! I love her so much! I am glad she is healthy and strong! And so are you! :) I love you so much and am so glad you are my sister! I am so lucky to have such a sweet little niece like Isabelle!!!
