Welcome Isabella Joyce Stockdale!!!

She's here! Isabella Joyce Stockdale was born Monday November 24, 2008 at 7:39 pm. Mom and baby are doing great. After 9 hours of labor and 90 minutes of pushing, Bella made her wordly debut! She came in weighing 6lbs 6oz. and was 19 inches long. Doctors say she is as healthy as they come and mom and dad say she is just too adorable and more perfect than imaginable. Thank you to everyone who sent prayers our way, sent gifts, and all who helped in any way. It was all very much appreciated! Here are the first set of pictures. More to follow soon.

4 centimeters! What did you just say?!?

So, Teresa went in for her regular checkup today and they did their usual test stuff. But, then she told the doctor that she had been having some contractions lately... some that even made her sweat... so they checked her out. Apparently, Teresa is already dialated to 4 cm! Dr. Cooper told us "don't go anywhere," and "I'd be surprised if you went another two weeks." So, Teresa is really due any day now! Considering she will be 37 weeks pregnant this Sunday, the notion that the baby is likely to come at least 14 days early (closer to 18 days), came as a shock. Teresa has been measuring and coming in right on target with the expected due date at all of her visits. It just seems that she is jumping to get here! Its amazing how those two more weeks of emotional and other prep seem so much more important now! Anyway, we're gearing up for the BIG event... and planning on an early arrival.

Moved

Well, thanks to a number of fantastic, amazing, wonderful friends, Dave and I have moved into a larger home - temporarily. I say temporarily because we will move again in approximately four months as we are building a home. We decided to rent out our condo which drew an enormous amount of interest for renting purposes, which is pretty cool. So, if you'd like our new address, let me know if you don't get an email within the next few days. We are excited and still cannot express our DEEP, GREAT, gratitude for the hard work our friends put forth in helping us move, seriously we really could not have done it without them!! They will be greatly blessed for their great service!
