A hundred million miracles

[silensy]

My niece Izabelle Yvonne was born at 7:47 this morning. She weighs 7 lbs and 14 oz and is 21.5 inches long. She's absolutely stunningly beautiful and hardly looks at all like Winston Churchill.

There's a debate raging over whether she's Izzy or Belle. I invite you to cast your vote in the comments and I shall report to the parents.

I'm going to vote for Izzy because my sister's got Bella on her short list of names for my niece, due probably sometime this week, and that's a trend I'd like to discourage.

Besides, Izzy sounds spunkier than Belle and I am of the opinion that the world needs more spunky little girls.

Congratulations to you and your family. :)

I'm also for Izzy, concurring with the need for more spunky little girls in the world, and Belle just invites too many Disney references.

Congrats--and growing into a nickname's the best route, imho.

Izzy!

And congrats! :D

Yay! Izzy all the way! Give your bro and his wife my congrats!

(also, Izzy because I can sing this song to her, cleverly replacing "Dizzy" with "Izzy":
