Guess What She Did Today?

This is Isabella. She turned 2 about a month ago. Today she became a big sister to not 1, but 2 baby brothers, Jake and Dylan. Our good friends Eric and Alyssa were expecting twin boys in a month, but those boys had other plans. Around 4 this morning, Lys drove herself to the hospital as she had been in some pain all day yesterday. She called her doc early this AM and went to the hospital to be checked out. Long story short, around 7 AM she thought she was about to be released to go home when she was informed otherwise. Andy got a call to ask if we would watch Isabella for the day while Eric met Lys to do a little thing like have twins a month early via c-section. All's well that ends well.....those boys came out weighing 5.2 and 5.13 ounces. They spent a little time in the NICU, but for now, seem to be in good health. Pretty great for a few weeks early! Isabella was awesome all day....Joey played with her literally 1o minutes after she arrived (he was still asleep) until the moment she left, some 8 hours later. She never fussed, cried or complained, except when she fell and cut her knee. That was really something, considering she doesn't really know us from Adam as we don't see her too often . Eric had to pretty much pull up, kiss her goodbye and get going. Lys was scheduled for surgery 40 minutes later and he still had to drive 20 miles to get there and get ready to head into the OR with Lys. Isabella was a ROCK Star... and will be a great Big Sis. She was stuck like glue to Rose (once she pulled herself out of bed) until Rose left to hit up Legoland one last time for the summer with the cousins. Unfortunately, we had to bow out of plans to BBQ with our friends Pete and his son Alex. We have been talking about it for weeks, and we had to nix the plans at the last second. Sorry boys! Maybe next weekend?


Congrats to Eric, Alyssa and Isabella for the long awaited, yet early arrival of Jake & Dylan. We can't wait to meet you!
