Izabella’s first car ride

IMG_1329Julie, Dan, and Izabella departed Piedmont Hospital for home earlier today. Mom Julie reports that they feel they are ready for the next step of their adventure as Izabella had several good nights at Piedmont and is nursing well. She seems to have quickly adapted to car travel, provided her pacifier is handy. Too cute.

Julie and Dan, congratulations on the arrival of Izabella Joan Fields!

Julie and Dan are ready …

Mom and I had a great visit with Julie and Dan last night. We both observed that they look fantastic! I guess we were expecting to see an exhausted Julie, perhaps swollen a bit and just plain looking uncomfortable. Not so! She was what I would call “glowing”. “Glowing” may not be the best term to describe a man … but Dan was glowing too!

Everything is ready at their home for the baby. Julie has done a great job of decorating and outfitting the nursery – it looks really cute in its yellow and gray colors. All it needs now is a baby!

We are packed and ready to move in with them for a three day shift of helping Dan, Julie and Baby Fields (Indie, too) start their lives together!

We are truly blessed to be able to join them at this important time in their lives.
