Scott's Mini Me

We had a 3D/4D imaging session done on June 28th when we were about 34 weeks along in our pregnancy.  I have attended one of these amazing sessions when Dana was pregnant with Brendan, so I knew what to expect, but never did I imagine the amazing feeling I would feel when it was me in that recliner!  It was so surreal!!

She was not having a good time in this photo since she got pushed around so that the tech could get photos of her clearly.

Those huge cheeks come from her namesake, my precious Grandmother!

Looking exactly like her daddy!!  She's got her daddy's full lips and cute little button nose =)

Guess who's hair she got!  She's got a head full of curls!

Sleeping princess!

So as we move closer and closer to meeting this sweet little girl, I realize how precious life is and also realize how amazing God is!  It is truly a miracle any time a child is created out of love.  Scott and I are in the process of preparing our home for little Izzy and are impatiently awaiting her arrival.  I look back at my life before Isabella was a part of it and I can not imagine that I had any idea what love was ever about.  I look at the pictures of this baby that I'm growing inside of me and just feeling her movements makes me realize that I am so lucky to get to love this angel.  Scott has grown into a whole new level of manhood and I'm sure that once she arrives, it will get even more intense.  I asked him if he was going to be uncomfortable watching the birth of his daughter and he said, "No, it's going to make me fall even more in love with you than I already am."  He has been truly amazing throughout my pregnancy.  He is so very attentive and so helpful!  It's tough for me to even get out of bed, since my belly has taken over my body.  Thankfully, he's always there to pull me up and help me roll out of the bed and off the couch.

As I sit here and type this, little Izzy is kicking away in my belly and I know that she will be the most loved little baby that God has sent!  These little babies are all angels only on loan to us.  I will promise to take care of my angel and love her with all of my being.  I can't wait to watch my sweet husband grow into fatherhood, as he's always wanted to do.  We are both so blessed and loved by so many family members and friends.  We are so thankful for all the phone calls, texts, emails, and visits letting us know that we're supported and and Isabella is so loved so deeply!

We are so excited to start this next chapter of our lives and of our marriage!
