Isabella's Diary...

Saturday April 17th:  Yawn...  Well, I'm a week overdue, and the AG00101_.gif (4417 bytes)  says that if I don't move out of here by Tuesday they will NA00056A.gif (1597 bytes) me out...  Mom and Dad AG00022_.gif (6188 bytes) are getting pretty comfortable with the way things are...  Me, I'm thinkin' it's time to shake things up a bit champgne2.wmf (34806 bytes) ...    Dad PE02050A.gif (1988 bytes) cooked Mom AG00033_.gif (5479 bytes)  some Waffle's and Bacon  AG00057_.gif (11891 bytes) for breakfast... Then Mom talked with Lisa for what seemed like hours while Dad read the newspaper  PE02086A.gif (1977 bytes). and talked to Sheldon...  About 2PM I finally decided it was clock.wmf (10550 bytes) to stop sailboat.wmf (10422 bytes) and set off the big dynamite.wmf (15318 bytes), so I could start the countdown to my first AG00031_1.gif (11132 bytes)...After Mom got the firstIN00728_.gif (1894 bytes),  she called the PE01879A.gif (1669 bytes) and told Dad to get himself a WB01409_.gif (599 bytes) for the road... Then Mom put her  AG00058_.gif (11783 bytes) in the  car.wmf (7222 bytes). and we drove  arrowsgn1.wmf (1878 bytes) ...to the hospital  building.wmf (10806 bytes) running a lot ofstop.wmf (2966 bytes) and stoplght.wmf (6646 bytes)along the way, but noTN00738A.gif (1685 bytes)  seemed interested...   When we got to the Hospital they hooked Mom up to a machine that produced charts like this...AG00114_.gif (3729 bytes)  and AG00120_.gif (3484 bytes) every few minutes...  Soon things got dice1.wmf (2966 bytes) and the  PE02038A.gif (1874 bytes) had filled several books with notes AG00029_.gif (4339 bytes)about the charts... ...while Mom was feeling like a time- bomb1.wmf (9558 bytes) was about to go off inside her...  Then we met Dr. Jim AG00035_.gif (5247 bytes)the Anesthesioligist... He said - take this SY01023A.gif (1736 bytes) and you'll both be feeling fine...PE02072A.gif (2034 bytes), which was true...  Then after a lot of pushing and shoving with Mom and Dad, I arrived and took my Apgar Test ribbon.wmf (2678 bytes) and got my Birth Certificate...diploma.wmf (3510 bytes) ...  then Dad called everyone on the phone HH01499A.gif (1090 bytes)and sent pictures HH01501A.gif (1373 bytes) on email...

 

The first picture Dad took of me is right here... MVC00001.JPG (192907 bytes) ... I was just 6lbs 6oz, 19 1/2 inches tall...    MVC00004.JPG (195318 bytes)   MVC00005.JPG (168136 bytes) The nurses were fussing about MVC00006.JPG (193490 bytes), but I thought that was enough of poking and prodding MVC00007.JPG (160713 bytes), so I screamed MVC00002.JPG (22133 bytes) and told them to BACK OFF! MVC00003.JPG (155551 bytes) ... after that they gave me some room to catch my breath... MVC00008.JPG (166797 bytes) ...  then I asked for Mom MVC00011.JPG (62359 bytes)  and went over to socialize MVC00012.JPG (67732 bytes) and meet the lady I had been tormenting for the past 10 months and 12 hours...   She looked like a nice lady MVC00015.JPG (187023 bytes) ... I was hoping she would be feeding me real soon now... MVC00014.JPG (188954 bytes) ... The guy holding the camera turned out to be Dad ... MVC00026.JPG (189969 bytes)  He wasn't too bad either, but he didn't seem like he would be feeding me right now... MVC00025.JPG (28164 bytes), so I decided to take a nap instead... MVC00028.JPG (179137 bytes)
