So, in case you didn't guess it from the last entry, I'm pregnant (well, no longer) and T has a little new sister who came into this world yesterday afternoon (9.14.2009 at 4.44pm) weighing a whopping 5 pounds 2 ounces (scrawny and small) but with fighting lungs and a scream that makes her presence known. She was little (my signature way of having babies!). While C and I think she's adorable, we can't help but think she does look a bit like an old aging man (much the way T looked when he was born) and when naked, alienish (sorry Bellita, we love you but c'est la verite).
Tristin met Bella for the first time today and I have to say, his reactions surpassed anything we could have imagined. He was happy and jovial and while a bit timid, kept on pointing to her and saying "be-la". He also managed a little kiss on her face. Even when I was trying to feed her, he didn't budge or react. Not sure if it was because daddy was there distracting and playing w/him (likely) but he reacted wonderfully. Of course, am thinking - this will all likely change when we go home tomorrow and he realizes that Bella is here to stay. He'll probably wonder when we'd be dropping her back off in the hospital or insisting on it...and when it doesn't happen...hmm, not looking forward to what happens then!
A few pics from last night and today..(and a few additional ones from a week ago with T)
PS: We haven't decided on a nick name for Isabella so we are throwing around a few -- let us know which one you like best! (Bella, Issie, Isa and/or Bellie...)
Welcome Bella!
B's weight
I look just like my brother when he was born
Daddy multi-tasking
Mommy right before the action
Ok, so enough about Bella, now ME!
Strolling along the SF beach walk...with my pink stroller (my new hot purchase!)
Not sure why this is turned but here I am with my pink stroller
I love this stroller (and no, I'm NOT a girl!)
Checking out - thanks daddy and mommy for this stroller!
