Isabella Lacy has arrived!

We were a little surprised on Sunday when my water broke and we ended up going to the hospital to have a baby (3 weeks early) instead of going to the movies. But Oh what a wonderful surprise!

Isabella Lacy was born January 5, 2004 at 3:09am weighing 5lbs 15oz and measuring 19 inches long. Mommy, Daddy and Isabella are all home and recovering nicely.

I had a WONDERFUL labor with the best epidural. I could feel pressure and move my legs but felt NO PAIN! Gotta love modern medicine.

Awww congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is so cute!!! :D Enjoy your sweet baby girl!!!

Congrats! She is beautiful and you look great!!!!

Zoë can't wait to meet her! Me too!

Oh and guess the doctor was a bit off on the size, hehe! It was your post where the doctor predicted her over seven pounds? :)

Yay babies!

Congratulations!! What a sweet little baby-awwww!!!:love
You look great too, so sweet holding that little girl! I agree with the whole wonderful epidural part. With Tristan it didnt take all the way or something, so I felt a lot, but with my second, it was wonderful. No pain after I got it and I talked through the whole thing. Wonderful! Congrats again and welcome home! :balloons

Congratulations!! I'm glad to hear you're all doing well.

Congratulations! What a sweet picture of the two of you! I, too, loved having an epidural the first time. I was able to enjoy all of the labor, and listen to the OB, and watch my husband sweat! It was great! My anesthesiologist was a hero that day, for helping me so much.

Congratulations! Boy, you snuck that one right in there!
I TRIED to get an epidural with the first one, but it never took. The last 3, I said forget it unless it looks I am going to be in labor a really long time. They were all 2-4 hours, so I never would have benefitted. Also, only got an episiotomy with the first one. I was so miserable with it that I told my doctors to do absolutely everything possible to avoid having to cut me...and they did! I never had another one.
I am so glad you are home and doing well!

Congrats!! Glad to hear all went well. She's adorable!

Congrats!!! What a cute little one!! Didn't you go to SMU & study voice? You look so familiar!!! Anyway, good luck with the new baby!

:love

Wow, what a great surprise, huh? Congratulations, she is beautiful. I'm glad your labor was so easy...I was all about the epidural, too. :)

Congrats!!!

And what a great picture of you two! (and look at you with make up on!)

Glad all went, and is, going well. :)

Wow! Congrats!!! I can't believe your little Isabella is here already! I'm glad to hear you are both doing well!

Isabella is beautiful and you look great! COngratulations!

Thanks for all the wonderful notes! I feel great, have not taken any pain meds since leaving the hospital on Wednesday morning. Of course, I didn't tear or have to be cut so I'm ahead of the game. Lucky for my she wasn't nearly as big as the Dr predicted!She's been a little jaundiced so we had to have her in a billy blanket for the last couple of days but should be able to take her off on Monday. I'm just glad we were able to take her home and not have to leave her there under the lights. The miracles of modern medicine!!
Now I can come to the play groups! I can't wait to meet all of you and your little ones!

I did! I graduated in '96. Were you there? What did you study?

Congrats!!!!:love I am really glad you had such and easy delivery. I am sure everything will be fine. I had a friend that had her son on Christmas eve and she wasn't due until Jan. 23. Her son had jaundice also, and had to have a heat lamp sent to there house also. He is know doing great!
God is awsome.

Just wanted to add my congratulations on your baby girl!
