Isabel (& Josiah) Island

Eagan, Minnesota
I am a Christian, trying-to-be-crunchy wife and mama of two kids (nearly 5 and nearly 3), who keep me very busy, as well as the mother of our angel baby who was born and went to be with Jesus on November 26, 2012. I also work full-time outside the home so I don't get to blog nearly as much as I would like about my children, but I do what I can!

Our Christmas miracle (and surprise!)

I just wanted to add a brief journal entry and add some photos to Isabel's website. Please check back often, as I will add more detail about her arrival into the world and her first days at home!

Isabel Noelle Christenson blessed our lives by arriving into this world on 12/24/2007, Christmas Eve Day, at 12:05 p.m., after Mommy's water had broken at 3:10 a.m. and only 3 hours of active labor and 25 minutes of pushing! She was a tiny little girl at 5 lbs 14 oz, 19 1/4 inches long, quiet at first but perfectly healthy and beautiful! As many of you know, we had talked about how we wanted her to arrive any day but Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, but she had other things in mind and we couldn't be happier! She was truly the most amazing Christmas gift either Luke or I have ever received!
