IZZY IS HERE!!!

Elizabeth Rose Dowiak is finally here!!! She came in at 8lbs 4oz, 20.5 inches, and we couldn't be any prouder! I'm still on a mom high, and am so excited that we have another little girl to love. She's perfect.
Here's a proud Audi "big sister" with Izzy when we first came home from the hospital.
The last prego belly shot...this was taken on the way to the hospital...
A proud Mom and Dad in the delivery room...the doctor broke my water around 8pm, and she was here 11:51pm. I had time for an epidural and 3 pushes (both the epidural and short transition time come recommended)
I think the picture tells it all (Miles in the delivery room)
We were so excited to come home!! The decorations were a surprise from Grammie and Audi. We loved it. It's so nice to be home and begin to settle into a routine. I'm just estatic that we have another addition to our family.

The Good Ship Lollipop

Last weekend we went to Station Square to meet up with the Wilson's and ride the Good Ship Lollipop. I can't remember the last time I went on the tour, but I have to admit I did enjoy the trip. They take you up and down the three rivers in Pittsburgh and point out different buildings. I could have done without the clown, although when I asked Audi about him she did say he was "happy". There are some pictures of the boat ride below...
Later that night we went to Nellie's for dinner. I had a lovely time catching up with everyone, and can't wait for the beach trip in October. I know Audi will be excited to visit her friend Tony! And as much as I hate the idea of fireworks (they're just dangerous)...Miles put on an excellent show!

Almost there...

The official word from the doctor is that this baby could be come at anytime now! Although it's exciting, I know my due date is next Wednesday. If the baby doesn't come by next Thursday I'll be induced. (There is a light at the end on the tunnel!!) So here's a belly shot taken a couple of days ago...any guesses to how big the baby will be?

Random pictures...

This is Audi at the petting area they had set up at Mt. Lebo park for the 4th of July. Although I will say her absolute FAVORITE thing to do at these little festivals is the moon walk bouncy thing.
We went to the arts festival with Grammie and Papa while it was here. I couldn't resist posting Papa dancing with the drums...
Here's Audi in a train at Trax farms strawberry festival earlier this year...
Before anyone gets any ideas...this is not our kitten but a neighbors!! Audi loved holding the new kitten, but I'm still not inspired to get a pet yet...
