First off, sorry it's taken so long to get up photos, I 'thought' the hospital had wireless... But I'm sure you all understand!
Well, after 15 hours of labor (only 5 hours of it was actually hard) Ms. Isabella Susie entered into this world. Our birth story was a little traumatic (which, I will write some details later), but the most important thing is that our little GIRL is here safe and healthy!
We are so thrilled to have this blessing from the Lord. Isabella has been the best little baby (so far). She is perfect in every way. It is amazing to me that she is ours and every time I look at her and marvel at God's goodness and His grace. It is amazing how you can have so much love for someone so little. Ben and I are both so thrilled that she is finally here!
I have to tell you all, that Ben and I were both shocked when SHE popped out. I kept repeating "It's a GIRL?!" Ben did a stellar job with me in the delivery room and even held my leg and cut the cord!
Isabella looks almost exactly like me when I was born: Like a little Eskimo baby with chubby cheeks, squinty eyes, with LOTS and LOTS of dark hair. Ben is a little disappointed that Isabella doesn't look more like him. He keeps on trying to find something on her that resembles him... I think she has his lips!
We are so thankful for all of our dear friends and family who thought about and prayed for us on Monday. You are all such a blessing to us!
Here are some pics of our beautiful little Isabella! Enjoy!

Wow, Isabella is a beauty... but so is her mother. You gave birth in style Nat; I noticed that you wore your pearls to the delivery room... a woman after my own heart.
