An Update.
So just a little update about mommyhood and life in general. I love everything about being a mom, even the hard parts that make me feel helpless. I wouldn't change it for the world and although people say it all the time, the love you have for your child really is indescribable and nothing else can compare to that kind of love. I think one of my favorite things is when Ryan is holding Isabella and he doesn't know I'm around and he sings to her or gives her kisses. There's nothing more manly than that and it makes me love him even more. As for Isabella, she's trying to hold her head up and she's staying awake more during the day. She's getting better at handling bath-time and absolutely LOVES having her hair washed. Her eyes roll in the back of her head when Ryan massages the shampoo in her hair. She's still wearing mittens because even though I cut her nails, she somehow continues to scratch herself. In only 5 days she will be a month old and it definitely doesn't feel like it's been almost a whole month since she was born. Ryan has two more weeks of school left and then he'll be in summer school until June 18th and then he gets a little break until August, which he desperately needs. We're going to attempt to go to the beach with my family in July, although I'm pretty sure I won't be wearing a bikini this year unless I miraculously lose my baby weight by July. I guess that about wraps it up for now, I'll try to keep things up-to-date.

Isabella Grace is Here!
Isabella Grace Miville was born on March 25, 2010 at 11:52 PM. She weighed 8 pounds and was 20.5 inches long. My labor progressed very fast and lasted for about 5 hours. I pushed for 15 minutes and she was here. She came two weeks early and had a full head of hair :) She's 10 days old now and I can still barely believe she's mine. It's truly amazing how instantly and fiercely you love your baby the moment it's born. She sleeps A LOT. She's probably only awake about 4 to 5 hours a day, although I'm sure that will change. Ryan is great with her, he's taking to fatherhood very well. He looks at her with such amazement sometimes and I definitely understand what he's feeling because I do it too. I'm so excited to see what the next couple of months will bring. Right now we're just taking it easy and recuperating while we adapt to this crazy new life. She has her first doctor's appointment on Tuesday so that will be the first time we take her out of the house. So, that's life as of now; crazy, new, hectic and different, but I'm loving every second of it.
