Our gorgeous Christmas pictures! By Andrea Moffatt

New Years Eve 2010

Wow, it is already the last day of 2010! I cannot believe it.
This time last year, we were still waiting on our angel. Now she is our world!
Recap of 2010:
January- Isabella Jeannette Dice was born on Jan. 25th, 2010, 11:31AM. She had her shunt put in Jan. 26th. We were able to go home.
Feb.- 2/14, Isabella was life flighted for the 1st time, and it was discovered she had meningitis. Her shunt clogged due to this and was removed.
March- After a month in the hospital, Isabella and I returned home!! :) 8 days later, she was life flighted for the 2nd time, due to seizures. This was a very short stay of 2 days.
April- Isabella competed in her 1st beauty pageant and won Mini Queen!!
May- Isabella competed in the state competition and won Personality for Wyoming OLM, along with living doll, and mother/daughter. :)
June- Was a quite month for the Dice family, we did go to Denver for checkups, where everything went great! We also took her to Rifle, CO for the 1st time to visit her Grandma Merry.
July- Isabella was in her 1st parade in Sheridan, WY, and her aunt and uncle came up from Tucson to meet her.
Aug.- Was another quiet month for us.
September- Tyler & I's one year anniversary- 1st time away from Isabella for more than a night.
Oct- Went to see Isabella's great grandparents in Nebraska!!
November- Another checkup for Isabella in Denver, they went so well that we do not have to go back until May 2011!!!!Isabella got her glasses too!! She loves them. What a difference they are making for her.
December- Isabella's 1st Christmas! What a blessing it was to have Isabella celebrate Christmas, when this time last year we weren't even sure she would make it out of the hospital.

2011- I cannot wait to see how much Isabella grows in 2011!!

Oct. 19th

I got wonderful news yesterday. I had applied for a grant to get Isabella an IPAD to help with her Occupational Therapy over a month ago. I was begining to think that she wouldn't be approved for it. The Prayer Child Foundation sent Isabella a check for $600!! I ordered her IPAD today! I'm so excited. I hope this help termendously with her skills.

Resolution to....

I have made myself a promise to start posting updates on Isabella at least once a week on here!
Starting tomorrow!!

1 Week and Counting!! <3

My angel will be here in one week!
Where has the time gone?
My mom and I finished cleaning the house yesterday, and finished Isabella's laundry.
Everything is ready for her to come home too.
(The smell of Dreft is my new favorite thing in the world!!)
I can hardly wait for her to be in my arms, I just want to love on her and kiss her.
Look at her, and hear her beautiful cry.


Tyler and I are leaving for Denver the morning of the 23rd.
My mom and auntie will leave on the 24th.
It is about a 4 hour drive from Casper.

10 Days! 240 Hours!

Oh my goodness, only ten more days until our little miss Isabella Jeannette is here!!

Her room is almost ready, just have to get the furniture :) (Blame that on mommy's inability to make up her mind)

Her bassinet is all set up, clothes washed, and stuffies ready to go. :)

My dr appointment went wonderful yesterday with my normal ob, Dr. Sheppard.
I was measuring 36 weeks at 35.5 weeks, and her heartbeat was 129.

The only downside lately has been sleeping. I cannot seem to fall asleep and when I finally do, I wake up at strange hours. Plus last night she was jump roping on my bladder. :)

My team gave me presents for her today, I love baby things! All pink and cute!!

2 more weeks, 2 more weeks!!

I cannot believe it, only two more weeks.

If everything goes accordingly, by this time 14 days from now, Isabella Jeannette will be snug in my arms.

I cannot wait at all, although I feel antzy, just wanting the day to come. :)

Kara Faith! & Update on Isabella Jeannette

Congratulations to Nancy & her family on precious Kara Faith!!
It is so wonderful to hear that she is doing well.

It gives me even more HoPE for Isabella Jeannette.

Only 17 more days until our precious angel comes into the world.

My pregnancy has flown by so quickly and I can hardly wait to have her in my arms.

My dr.'s appointment with my regular OBGYN went great.

She of course didn't want to be still for him to monitor her heart!

She absolutly hates being monitored.

I am at 34 weeks, but measuring at 36 weeks. They think this is due to her head measuring at 40 weeks.

She is very active and dancing around in my belly, which of course I love feeling.

19 Days till our Isabella Jeannette Arrives!

Well... my 21st birthday was an exciting one to say the least... lol.

I ended up in the hospitial for two hours due to contractions. I didn't even know I was having them. They gave me to shots and sent me on my way for dinner, gotta love steak!!

On the 4th we went down to see Dr. Becker, and the appointment went WONDERFUL!!

The fluid detected at her last appointment in her tummy was gone, meaning she is swallowing.

The extra amnio fluid I had has gone back down to normal levels.

Dr. Becker cannot believe how active she is, how beautiful she is, and how well she and I are doing.

We watched her hiccup and suck on her fingers. It was darling.

We scheduled the c-section for January 25th at 8.30, PSL in Denver.

I am so super excited to finally get to see my angel.

Happy New Year-2010

Happy New Year 2010!!!

Wow I cannot believe it's already 2010.
It's so hard to believe. It seems like yesterday it was New Year's Day 2009.
I was still preparing for my wedding.
It seems like a it was a blink of an eye, and it was May.
We found out I was pregnant, and all of the joy and fear we felt to being 1st time parents.
Then it was September, and we were married.
We were completely in bliss- married and expecting.
Two weeks later our lives turned upside down, and that has all been a blur that has gone by to quickly.
One more month and our precious angel Isabella Jeannette will be in our lives forever.
I cannot wait to hold her, see her, and kiss her.
