JoElle Alexandria was born at 4:52 p.m. on Monday, January 17, 2005 after two and a half hours of pushing. She just didn't want to come out to see the world yet, but we are so happy she is here!
She weighed 9 lbs and is 20.25 in long! Two days later, at her first Dr.'s appt JoElle weighed in at 9 lbs 12 oz. At her two week checkup she was 10 lbs 4 oz and 22.75 in. long. She is just growing so fast!!
JoElle was born with head full of curly gorgeous black hair- it was very curly when she was born, it kinda flattens a little when she is laying down and her hair dries.
JoElle came home from the hospital with us on Wednesday the 19th. We had a rough few nights Wed, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday because her tummy is really upset- We decided to take her off of milk formula and try her on soy based formula. She is doing SO much better! She actually wants to take her bottle now and eat and she sleeps afterwards! She wasn't getting much sleep for hours on end because she was so miserable. This is the baby we THOUGHT we were bringing home from the hospital!! She definitely loves her Daddy, especially his voice. It is adorable how she gazes up at him. JoElle is very precious, and I can't wait for her to meet everybody! From the moment she was born, when Daddy said her name, she stopped crying to look for him as she recognized his voice! Daddy had been reading Hop on Pop to her almost every night, plus talking to her before she was born.
JoElle was born on her Great Grandma Bertha's birthday. JoElle's cousin, Peyton Garlon Schuman, was born on June 14, 2004 to Ana and Dan. Peyton and JoElle are only 7 months apart! JoElle has another cousin due (a baby girl to be named Elena Raye) in May of this year. They will be only about 3 months apart! JoElle's oldest cousin is Isaiah James and he is 7 years old.
