December 2004
Sun. December 26, 2004 Isabelle was a trooper for Christmas. Barely sleeping two hours the entire day, she rarely fussed or cried. True, she didn’t smile too much, but that is to be expected having to wear tights, a dress and black shoes. Grandparents and Great-grandparents were very generous – too generous. Isabelle must have […]

September 2004
September 27, 2004 -This past week Isabelle has developed quite a screech. Maybe a temper too? In the cradle she’s started to suck her fist before falling asleep. While in a sitting position, she attempts to raise her fist to her mouth. Her coordination isn’t quite there, and she hits her cheek, eye, although sometimes […]

August 2004
August 15-31, 2004 I’m finally getting on my feet. After a month of birth I took a walk alone with Isabelle. Each day I try to take one. Then I’ve been going on errands with her slowly. It’s quite an experience being in a store with her screaming. Each day i’m getting a bit better. […]

The first few days
July 24-30, 2004 Mike is home with me and we’re adjusting slowly. Nothing could ever of prepared us for the changes. I rush to Isabelle’s side with every wimper. The first week has been very difficult (inaddition to a new baby) because I’m having extreme breastfeeding problems and Isabelle has jaundice. Each day I’ve been […]
