The first few days of Isabella's life

These are more pictures from the hospital. We'll post more in the days to come and will have the bugs worked out on how to post pictures and text on this blog very soon.

Isabella is born

Ashley began feeling contractions around 11 p.m. Saturday. Around 1:45 a.m. Sunday we knew it was time to head to the hospital. By 4:35 a.m. Isabella Grace Blackwell had come into the world. She was 7 lbs, 11 ounces and nearly 21 inches long.

Nine months ago Ashley and Brian created little Isabella Grace. The physician informed them she would be May 27 but Brian knew better. He said May 25 and a week ago the doc agreed to that possibility. Who will win in the end? Stay tuned. Below are some pictures of part of the incredible journey of nine months.
