And Baby Makes FIVE!
Say hello to Isabelle Adele, who joined our family on Friday, April 6th at 9:26am.
She weighed in at 7 pounds 10 ounces and was 20 inches long; she is nothing but pure sweetness and her brothers are already madly in love with her.
This was a scheduled c-section, so I’m pretty sore and moving slowly, but feeling better each day. It was, though, the least stressful birth of the three!
Joseph is absolutely smitten with her and wants to kiss her, sit next to her, and help however he can. Dominic is very curious and likes pointing out her nose, ears, hair and toes, ha!
Life here with two toddlers, a newborn, and a mommy who can’t move around so well or pick anyone up but the baby is chaos at best, but there truly is no place like home 💖
I’ll be getting caught up with emails and comments over the coming days and will have some recipes for you starting again next week. Thanks for your patience as I take time to love and snuggle all of my babies in these early days!
Congratulations. Such a beautiful little daughter, adding to a beautiful family.
Congratulations Michelle! Isabelle is the perfect addition to your beautiful family!
Congratulations!
Congratulations for your new beautiful member of the family! She’s a sweetheart! She has wonderful big brothers who loves her already and will protect her forever. I wish her well and to all the family may you make wonderful memories with this blessed child. All the best to you ❤️
Congratulations! You are super woman to blog. I have a 3-week old. Pure joy!!
Mazel Tov, everyone!
Michelle, I am local, so if you need ANYthing, don’t hesitate to reach out. (Weird way to meet someone, I know, but if you’re feeling lost, you are NOT alone.) Heal fast and enjoy the family!!!
Your daughter is beautiful. I love the pictures of the boys and their new baby sister. God bless you and your family.
And TWO big brothers to help protect and watch over her. Cute.
Congrats Michelle! I am glad that there is another female in your family! I do count the Pets and Judith is a lovely Golden Retreiver. Being an Animal Rescuer – Horses, Dogs, Cats and Wolves dumped at the Dog Pound I know that not every dog is suited to have a ‘Job’. Seeing Eye Dogs can be any Breed although the Retrievers are the most commonly selected for this type of work. Same thing with Police Horses, if something startles them they will react.
I am so happy that you are taking the time with your daughter and her older brothers! I have 1 younger brother and I looked out for him until he was the age of 9. By then he had no use for me!
Congrats again! Ellen in Jersey
Congratulations!!!
Oh my goodness, beautiful baby girl. Such precious pictures of the boys taking her in–She is gorgeous with the prettiest face and look at that hair color—she’ll be the princess for sure.
She’s so precious and adorable. Congratulations!
Congratulations and may God bless you and your new little angel. She is perfect. May you have a swift recovery.
Take care.
First of all i would like to say hi to Isabelle. We all are incomplete without our kids. Happy to see your sweet family and i am eagerly waiting to see your next recipe blog.
Such a lovely baby bringing happiness to all.
Michelle,
How wonderful! My friend (here where I live) has two girls just a little older than your boys, and was expecting her first boy. He was born on April 7th, so I’ve had fun tracking both of your pregnancies. I wish you and your beautiful, happy family abundant blessings and never-ending joy!
Congratulations on your new addition!
Michelle, Your new baby is beautiful and I love the pictures of the boys with her! The boys are so sweet as they look on at their new sister. Your beautiful photos brought tears to my eyes! Congratulations!
What a cutie pie!! Congrats to you and your family. Glad everyone is doing well.
Just a whole lot of sweetness going on! She’s beautiful. The boys adore her! Have an easy recovery and consider yourself truly blessed!
Congratulations on your blessed addition to the family! They are all so precious! Thank you for sharing your family, as well as great recipes with us all!!
Congratulations! Looks like a happy and lovely family.
Aww, Isabelle is so cute. She looks more like a sweet little girl and less like a newborn, and already shows personality.
I pray a quick recovery for you and total joy with this new blessed addition!
Congratulations! She is precious.
Congrats to you and your family Michelle! What a beautiful baby girl! Take all the time that you need to heal and bond with your adorable baby girl..with cute little boys! The content look on Joseph’s face says it all. Your blog will still be here and so won’t we. I’m so happy for you! 😀

She is adorable. Now you can rest up enjoy the kiddos and watch the Pens. Great timing!

Congratulations!! She is beautiful- take some time to recover – just enjoy your sweet blessings! Thank you for sharing pictures!!
Congratulations, Michelle & family! Enjoy every precious minute with your sweet baby girl, and adorable boys!
Congratulations Michelle! What a beautiful girl you have!! It looks like her hair is lighter than your boys’ hair at birth. Such a pretty, feminine name as well! Wishing you a speedy recovery and precious time with your family of five!💖💖💖
It is much lighter! We were so surprised, both of the boys had very dark brown hair, while hers is very light brown. She did get my husband’s chin dimple that Joseph has :)
FELICIDADES !!!! PRECIOSA FAMILIA

CONGRATULATIONS!!!
You, Judith and now sweet little Isabelle Adele …such a lovely name…will make a trio of feminine energy in your previously all male energy home, ha! I had a feeling, when there was no Saturday post, that your little girl had made her entrance. She is adorable and is so fortunate to have two special big brothers. I hope these early days are full of cuddles and kisses and that you have a safe and easy recovery.
Congratulations Michele to you and your family! She is a beautiful baby! It’s no wonder your boys are smitten with their sister. Enjoy your new bundle of joy and praying and wishing you well in your recovery. <3

Crying tears of joy for you– she is absolutely BEAUTIFUL and she will always be loved and protected with 2 big broski’s. I am the only girl with 2 brothers as well and let me tell you, it’s heaven. I always say if I had a sister I’d hate her!!! I can’t wait to watch Izzie grow and become even more gorgeous (if that’s possible) Congrats to you and your sweet family. <3
Congratulations! She is adorable!
Congratulations, she is so beautiful! I have been following you before you had any kids and just have been watching you bloom. You are a wonderful mother (and dog mom too) and God couldn’t of blessed a better person. My husband hears all about you over dinner; I read your posts and then tell him everything. God bless you and your family, so happy the boys have a little sister to look after and praying for your recovery.
I feel the same, Sheila!! I’ve been a devoted follower of Michelle’s for nearly 6 years and I have loved watching her become a Mommy. She’s my hero! My family calls me “Brown Eyed Baker jr” as I credit all of my talent to her!
Prayers and blessings abound. What a beautiful family!!!!! Enjoy!
Congratulations!!! 🎠👶🍼🌼💐
Welcome to the world, Isabelle! Congratulations to the BRB family. :)
Congratulations!!! She is beautiful. Hopefully the weather warms up and you can enjoy some walks with your family soon. Love all the pictures… thank you for sharing!
Congratulations! I had three pretty close together as well and all three were c-sections. When my third was a baby, it was very chaotic but you get used to it pretty quick. Enjoy this time! I miss having babies around. My youngest will start preschool next year and I’m going to miss the constant chaos all day.
Congratulations!!! She is absolutely beautiful! Well wishes on a speedy recovery!
Mazel Tov. So happy for you that all went as planned. Try to rest and recoup. Isabelle is adorable, as is all your children.
She is just lovely, congratulations! Rest, snuggle and take your time, we will all be here when you come back 😊
Congrats Michelle! Isabelle is just beautiful! I’m a postpartum nurse so I fully understand how things are post c-section… so, get lots of rest and take your pain meds, whether it’s motrin or Percocet. A c-section takes a lot out of you and, wonderful as this is, you need to take care of yourself…. take some time off and enjoy your expanded family…👶🏻🍼🎉
Congratulations to you and your husband! What a beautiful blessing to your family. I’ve been following you since before Joseph was born, gosh how time flies! Enjoy your little ones. Ido love the name 😉
She is beautiful, a true blessing!!!!
Oh Michelle, she is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Enjoy these special days and moments with your little ones, and make sure to take care of you too! Congratulations and best wishes to you all!
