Heat vs. Magic (Preseason)

Yesterday we went to the see the Miami Heat. Bill got us some awesome tickets and after-game grounds passes. It was great to see him and hear that all of his family is doing great. He gave us some updates on the health situation of the Heat players. As we were chatting court-side, "Zo" came out to meet some of his friends. Bill introduced us and Zo immediately noticed Becca's little bump. He congratulated her and asked if the baby was to be a boy or a girl. After I told him it was going to be a little girl, he looked at me and said "Well, I sure hope she doesn't look like you, but more like her!"... We then took a picture with him. Actually Jimmy Buffett's daughter took the picture for us. It was a fun experience and yes... he is really tall! By the way Orlando beat the Heat bad but Miami had the excuse of letting the JV team play. Apparently, 5 players have to be cut out before the season starts. Shaq stayed in the locker room to work out and get massages while D-Wade stayed in sunny Miami recovering from his shoulder and knee surgery.

Thanks to Bill who got us some awsome tickets and after game floor passes!

T minus ???

One of the reasons we are starting this post is to keep you all up to date with our now more exciting family life. For those that count the days before Isabelle supposed arrival, we are 32 days away. Now there is a trend of babies in the family that enjoyed the extended rest and comfort of the mother's womb . Thankfully we have heard of ways to naturally induce labor and prevent those 10 months pregnancies.
Becca and I have decided to have Isabelle born naturally in our home. Since both Becca and Isabelle are perfectly healthy, we decided that the stress of a hospital would not be necessary. We also believe that Becca will have better support here at home than she could ever get at the hospital. We have been consulting with a midwife for couple of months now and we feel at ease with her and her staff. Laurie is also very knowledgeable and qualified when it comes to baby delivery, having 7 of her own, delivered the last 3 at home, assisted 2 of her grand-children to come into the world, and helped many more women deliver babies at home. We are both very excited for our little angel to join our family and feel very blessed by all of your support and love.

Our first blog!

So we have finally joined the modern world of technolgy. A special thank you is in order for Carol who set this all up for us so we don't have any excuse. Now it is just up to us to post.

As most of you probably know, Charles and I are expecting a baby girl, Isabelle Marie, next month. She is due November 8th, but knowing my family I wouldn't be surprised if she is late. We are so eager for her arrival. I figure this little blog site will be a great way to keep everyone updated on what's going on and all the fun details. I hope everyone enjoys it.
