Bella is just beautiful!! Seeing babies makes me want to have another one. But then I think of the sleepless nights and am glad that I can sleep.
Here is my theory on who babies look like. (If you care ) I think that the first child, usually, looks like the dad. The second child, the mom. And the third and any child after that, is the combo kid. That's my theory!
They are little angels when they are sleeping...especially when they are sleeping all through the night.
Bella is so beautiful. The photos of your brand new baby totally made me cry. The look of sheer happiness on everyone's faces just shows what a treasured little girl Bella is.
I hope things are going smoothly for you at home Jill. I remember the first trip out on my own with the two. It's a bit awkward, but gets easier!
She is a treasured little girl!
Thanks MeMom! All day I was thinking about how much fun it will be to meet your crew and to see Henry and Brooklyn together!!
That is great about maybe getting a spot in Dave & Cathy's 'yard'! I am sure that beach is packed out. Do you know if you can actually watch the fireworks in the park too? I'm sure that is even busier than the beach though.
I'm hoping we can meet them this summer, since they'll be there at the same time, and talk to them about maybe having a Dis meet on New Year's Eve.
Can't wait to meet you guys in person!
What beautiful photos. I love the photo of Bella and her little tongue sticking out. Cutie pie! I'm sure little Miss Brooklynn is going to be a fabulous big sister! When my son was born, he gave his big sisters a gift as well. These new babies are so thoughtful, aren't they?
I love the tongue sticking out picture!
Trent brought Jill home a Little People camping set, and she played with it for many years. We still have parts of it!
Jill...glad to hear you got out the door ok this am. sorry to hear brooklyn has an ear infection ontop of everything else. Calebs' first dr appts we were always running late at least 15-30 minutes. It took me a long time to get anywhere on time with him. We still run later than I want to in the am's but at least we get where we are going on time though.
Oh well, you usually have to wait for doctors anyway, so I wouldn't get in too big of a hurry for those appointments.
BrooklynnsMommy
Sounds like a wild night and morning. Thought and wishes that you all rest better tonight.
Bella did sleep better last night, Jill reports.
Here is hoping tonight goes better!
It did. Hopefully it won't be an every other night pattern, or else tonight will be bad.
We have!!! I just got through looking throught those sweet pictures and commenting on them!! they are such a beautiful family!!
Jill loves keeping up with friends on Facebook. I'm glad she gets to be home for a while so she can catch up on Facebook and Dis time.
Oh I hate nights like that! You just don't know what to do for them and you are SO tired. Here's to hoping for some more sleep tonight. Isn't MeMom coming tomorrow too? Maybe she can help so you can get some sleep.
I'm here now. We were going to Brooklynn's Easter Egg Hunt, but they just cancelled school because of the weather, so John has gone to pick her up.
So sorry to hear you had a rough night last night.
As I'm sure you know - these early days will pass so quickly and before you know it - she'll be sleeping for longer stretches - and so will you!
Poor Brooklynn.
My middle son had a lot of ear infections. Hope it's gone soon.
Yeah, she's being patient. She knows it'll be no time before Bella is grown, so as aggravating as no sleep is, it's also precious baby time.
MeMom and Jill,
Lurker from Arkansas here. Bella is beautiful and Brooklyn will be her best friend. I would have written sooner but I was busy at our hospital waiting
for Bella's boyfriend to arrive.
Let me introduce Bella's Disney boyfriend my frist grandsonTyson.
Born 4-8-2009 7 lbs 13 oz 20 in long.
What a precious little guy!
Can't wait for Bella to meet her Disney boyfriend!
I have read/lurked on all your reports. Congrats on a beautiful, healthy baby girl. Having 2 princesses is so much fun! Mine are 28mo apart. They still like to dress as "twins" Looking forward to hearing more about the new addition and upcoming Disney plans!
We always love lurkers joining in. We hope you enjoy being around this nice group of people.
I'm glad to hear your girls don't mind matching. I know I won't get matching stuff all the time, but it's been fun for now!
Awwww Isabella is just beautiful! I love all the pics...thanks so much for putting them up! Brooklynn looks so happy and that one of her crashed on your bed is sooo cute. I love that she got a special present from her little sister...very thoughtful! Sorry about the rough night...I couldn't get my kids to sleep apart from me...and I know people seem to be able to put their kids all wrapped snugly in a bassinette or crib or pack and play....but not mine...they had to sleep right on me....or it was no sleep at all. So that's exactly what I did for a month....Hope the appointments went well and Brooklynn's ear is better now. Many congratulations and well wishes and prayers.
Jill was a spoiled baby. She wouldn't let me out of her sight, and she just about lived on me for the first year and a half.
Jill, I hope you got to sleep better last night.
MeMom, I love the shopping pics! We never made it back there on this last trip.
I'm headed home for the weekend and don't generally make it onto the boards when I'm there, so have a Happy Easter everyone!
Happy Easter to you, too! Have a great family weekend!
Luckily on our next trip I will have my friend who LOVES to shop (we call her the Wal-Mart Queen) so I may have some shopping pics of my own for a change.
Hope everyone is feeling great today!
I will love seeing your shopping pictures!
But will Dad enjoy hanging around while you take them?
You'll probably have to do that when you have a girls' time out and the guys are doing whatever it is guys do when girls are shopping!
for being sleep deprived. It will get better!
for Brooklynn's ear infection, I hope the new med's work better this time.
My weekend is great because I am off work today and SundaY.
I HAVE TO HAVE THAT ADORABLE MINNIE BAG!!!
I must have about 10 bags on my wish list now.....what's a girl to do?
HAVE AN EGG-CELLANT EASTER WEEKEND!!!
Luckily, Brooklynn is not complaining about her ear.
Don't they have
the cutest bags???
Enjoy your time off!
To arkie:
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR FIRST GRANDSON!!! HE IS SO CUTE!!!
Enjoy him!
Yes, congratulations from all of our crew, too!
Jill, hope things are going better at night! Just like that country song on the radio now by Darius Rucker, It won't be this way for long.
It's stormy there, MeMom? It looks like it could storm here too! I hope it gets nice for Sunday though! I'm in charge of the Easter egg hunt for the little guy.
OMG, that Minnie bag is SO cute. And, I love those soft cuddly Pooh's.
Yes, tornado watches are in effect right now.
Hope all goes well for your egg hunt. Bring back pictures to share!
Yep...Glad I can give Jill a laugh! But she may be laughing more if I still can't figure it out. This is my test post! Ok...I previewed my qoute and I didn;t want all of it there...so I deleted some of it...and it screwed up the yellow part. How do you only put what you want on there and still have it show up in yellow. Like the post below me, I didn't mess with that at all
Congratulations. Tyson and bella were almost the same size!
Just be sure you start and end with the
Quote things.
They were almost exactly the same size!
CONGRATS!!!!!! he's beautiful. wow - there are lots of babies coming into the world around here. my niece is due ANY day now. (her mom has actually been telling us she's having contractions for 3 weeks now and i'm about to DIE to meet her!)
i bought sherman and eli these when i was there in september. i got sherman goofy and eli eeyore. they love them!
have a good trip to alabama! be careful - it's very stormy here and you said it was in your neck of the woods, so i bet alabama is getting it too!
We can't wait to see Margot, but she'll come in her own time, like this little girl on the couch.
The weather is getting bad here.
You need to make sure the [quote = person's name ] and the [ / quote] are at the beginning and end of what you want to quote. As long as you have those there, it will show up in yellow. HTH!
Such nice helpers we have around here.
Jill,
Thanks for sharing your pictures. I love the one of you and Brooklynn having breakfast together. Isabella is beautiful! You will get so much joy out of watching your children interact with each other. Mine are seven years apart, but still sometimes act like they love each other. I love to see them play together and talk to each other, it is one of my favorite things. That is one of the things I love most about Disney World. Even though there is such an age difference in them, they both love Disney World just as much. I love being there with them. I know you look forward to being there with both of your girls. I hope you have better nights soon and are able to get some rest. I am glad Memom will be back to help.
Brooklynn is so sweet with her now.
Disney World brings out the best interactions in my kids, too. We all have such fun together.
Jill, hope you got more sleep last night.
MeMom, we are looking at having a stormy afternoon/evening here in the ATL area -- the forecast is kinda scary.
I really like the photo frame with all the characters in their summer gear -- very cute!
Looks like bad weather all through the south.
jill -- Thank you so much for sharing your pictures. The one with Bella winking is precious. Brooklynn is going to be such a great big sister.
You know we love sharing the pictures!
And, I love those soft cuddly Pooh's.
But she may be laughing more if I still can't figure it out. This is my test post!

They're calling for thunderstorms all night.
