Hey gang,
Just a quick update...we now have a beautiful little daughter! Isabella Rose Shondelmyer was born at 12:48am on Sunday, August 10th, and weighed a cool 7lbs 3oz and was 20in long.
We were at the lake with some friends celebrating a 30th birthday on Saturday, when around 11:30 kelly said "I think something just happened." Not being real sure, she wanted to just wait a little longer and see what was going on as she had been having some braxton-hicks contractions throughout the week. Meanwhile, I'm water skiing and learning how to wakeboard. Around 3pm we decide to head back into town as kelly thinks she is starting to have some contractions. To add drama to an already excited couple, about two miles from the lake we get pulled over by a cop for doing 50mph in a 30 mph zone! After giving the policeman my license, registration and insurance, he looks at kelly and asks "so when are you due?" I tell him that it could be today and we are heading to the hospital, after which he basically throws my papers back to me and says "oh geeze! Get out of here!"
We stopped at the house and grabbed our bags and continued to the hospital, not really thinking anything was going to happen yet as the due date wasn't suppose to be until Sept. 4th. After arriving at the hospital around 5:15pm, the nurses did a few tests and confirmed that yes indeed, kelly's water had broken and she was having contractions. After getting an epidural and hanging out for a few hours, she started actually pushing around 11:40 pm and delivered Isabella at 12:48am!
We have been blessed with some great friends who have stopped by and visited with us and have had a great day getting to see our little daughter start growing up already!
Chris, Kelly, and Baby Isabella
