Our little Isabella came into the world after a relatively easy labor. Despite a few minor complications, it was a beautiful birth. Mommy and Baby are both healthy, happy and well on the way to recovery.


The birth was attended by Daddy Jeremy (of course) and Grandma Karen Kindrick. Grandma Linda Church, Certified Nurse Midwife delivered Isabella. Everyone was relieved that both grandmas were available that night and able to arrive in time. Our last baby's birth was so quick, Daddy and Grandma Kindrick almost missed it parking the car!


I am very lucky I had Linda to assist me during labor at home and at the hospital. We were in good hands. Thank you to both of the wonderful grandmothers

The Church Kids

The anxious Church Kids met Isabella for the first time later on Thursday Morning. Brennan was very solemn and a bit sulky at first. He held her, but wouldn't kiss or touch her at first. He is already warming up to her and says "I lub baby Isabelwa" while he pats her head and is already helping me pick out clothes and diapers for her. The kids have only been back home with us one night. They are all very excited to "get to know" the baby. Siena keeps saying "I can't believe this is real!"

I am so thankful for all the blessings I have been given in my life. I have a wonderful husband, beautful, sweet children, and a loving Father in Heaven. Everything fell into place in order for our family to move, sell our house, find a great place to live, and have a safe and healthy baby. Thank you to all of our friends and family who have helped us so much. We miss and love all of our Cedar City friends. We think of you all the time. Thank you everyone for being part of our lives.

Bridey and family - this is Alysia. Isabella is so beautiful. She does remind me a lot of Siena! I'm so glad everything went well for you. I wish I could come over and see her in person and help you out while you are getting back on your feet. I'm glad you have family there to help you. I will write or call soon. Take it easy and enjoy your sweet baby girl!
