My exceptional neice, Isabella Jeanne Ohlsen, was born June 11th at 2:45 AM. Her Mom and Dad were so strong and amazing throughout the labor and everyone is now healthy and back home. She was alert from the beginning, staring around at us all with her beautiful deep blue eyes and tasting the air with her tongue.
Here she is with her Papa Zac about
fifteen hours after she came into this world:
Sleeping in her brave and beautiful Momma Rachelle's arms:
Bella seems comfortable with anyone, and except when she is hungry is content to look around or nap on your chest or lap. She even sleeps through intense action movies, although the adults are considerate enough to lower the volume. She knows all about electric eels, since she slept through that show, too, even though she knows they are really freshwater fish. Smart girl!
And the new Ohlsen family at home:
