Our little girl was finally born! Her name is... Isabel Maryann Palmieri Friday night I went into labor. My contractions were 5 mins apart and lasting 2 mins each. I called my sister and had her come over about 1 a.m. I woke up Paolo and made him call in sick to work. We grabbed our bag and were on the way out the door when my contractions stopped. I waited about an hour and I started having them again, but not as often. After another they stopped again. Ugh! At least if you hurt that bad you get a baby out of it. So I woke up my sister for nothing.
Saturday about 7 p.m. my water broke. And yes- it really feels like you just wet your pants! So we called my sister again. I got the kids a bath and in bed early. My very nice neighbor came over while Maureen was coming, and we went to the hospital about 8:30 p.m. By then I was having really good contractions. 2 hours later our cute, small baby was born.
Best delivery I've ever had. 2 contractions worth of pushing and slid out by herself. I didn't tear or anything. Thank heavens for small babies! She was only 6 lbs 3 oz, and 18 inches long. Welcome to the family Isabel!
I think she looks a lot like Jordan.
Aaron and Jordan love their little sister. She was mawled with hugs and kisses. Poor thing.
Exhausted but happy to not be 9 months pregnant!
Welcome home.

Julie! So happy for you and your adorable family. You are an amazing mother --- totally laughing about the post regarding potty training, toilet paper unraveling, etc. Oh, the days of adventure! Congratulations!!
Julie - such a beautiful little girl! Congrats!! I love the name Isabel and always wanted to have a little girl to name that name - so I will just settle with you using that name. :) I hope all is going smoothly and you are settling in okay. We'll come visit in a few weeks after all has settled. (Does that ever happen???) Love ya!!!!
