This is past due...


I am sorry that it has taken me this long to let everyone know how we are. It's been a long week. We came home from the hospital Tuesday evening and have been adjusting to life with two kids. Isabelle is an easy baby...so far...so we feel very lucky. Unfortunately the girls had to see their pediatrician on Thursday and Riley had to have some immunizations that have left her with a fever for the past two days. She has been absolutely miserable! Although she is getting used to having Izzy around and is more interested in her now. She is always pointing at her and saying, "baby." Things are going smoother than I expected really. Although we have had a few looonnnggggg nights! Izzy is slightly mixed up it seems. She is definitely up eating more at night than during the day but that is just how it goes. Here is a picture of Izzy very awake. She is so cute!

Isabelle "Izzy" Jane Anderson...




...was born Monday, December 10, 2007 at 20:20 (8:20 pm). She weighs 6 pounds 14 ounces and is 19.5 inches long. That makes her bigger than Riley was at birth by 5 ounces and 1.5 inches. She still seems small to us though, considering we are used to a toddler. Things went really well and we are all fine. Except Riley doesn't want to cuddle Mommy or get too close to Izzy. She will look at Izzy and smile and say "baby" but push her away if we bring Izzy towards her. This oughta be an interesting adjustment! Pray for Riley to have an easy time! Here are a few pictures and we will update more once we are home in the next few days. Sorry I have not posted more but I am technologically impaired and don't have the patience to do a page layout. They never work how I want them to! But I do promise more pics and an update soon!
