We are overjoyed at the arrival of
Isabella Naomi
October 18, 2008 11:35
She made her appearance after I was uncomfortable & complaining all day Saturday!!! Now I feel bad! I made cookies & we played with the kids all day, then we went to Target to walk around & get a few things when I started really feeling awful. We came home & I laid on the couch for about 5 minutes when suddenly Pop! My water burst! We went to the hospital at 6:30 pm & I was in a lot of pain, but it didn't last too long (thank you epidural)! Bella was born at 11:35 pm with no problems whatsoever. She surprised us with all her dark brown hair! She's sooooooooooo beautiful that these pictures do not do her justice! She's absolutely perfect & gorgeous & (drumroll).........mellow! Yes! She's such a pleasure to have around :) We REALLY struggled with her name because we settled on 2 great names, so choosing just one was so difficult. We ended up using both, but then couldn't decide which one to use as the first & which as the middle! We debated right until we had to sign the paperwork. We ended up with Isabella because Len thought Bella (meaning beautiful in Portuguese) was the best girl's name when he was on his mission in Brazil. He's always wanted his little beautiful girl! Naomi means Pleasant One, which she so is! It's also after a wonderful friend who passed away in January, and who I thought about often after I found out we were expecting. We think her name is so perfect for her, because she is beautiful & pleasant! We are so in love! The boys think she is the greatest thing ever too & they are always trying to "help" with her! We feel so blessed with our 4 wonderful kids!
