Isla Grace Makes an Appearance to the World

By Kori Wedeking
In the early morning of October 17, Isla Grace Timmermans entered the world. She weighed nine pounds and nine ounces, and was twenty-one inches long. Isla is the daughter of Ross Timmermans, the athletic director and physical education teacher at Clarksville High School, and his wife Missy.

Missy and Ross Timmermans, the parents of Isla, went to the hospital at twelve-thirty in the afternoon on Tuesday, October 16. Both Missy and Timmermans knew that the birth of Isla would arise shortly, but neither of them was one-hundred percent prepared for how their life would change.

“I was really nervous. I felt fine up until we got to the hospital,” commented Ross Timmermans.

“Hearing the heart rate monitor for twelve hours felt really nerve-racking,” added Timmermans. He and his wife had been listening to Isla’s heart beat while they were waiting for her to arrive. Then, very early the next morning, Isla finally decided to be born.

Missy and Ross Timmermans left the hospital around eight o’clock on Friday night with their newborn child. They got home and their new chapter of life began.

“I expected to be tired but not quite as tired as I feel,” Ross Timmermans explained. He had spent the whole first week of Isla’s life at home taking care of Isla and Missy. Although he and Missy may not have as much free time anymore, they are still extremely excited about what awaits them.

“I can’t wait for Isla’s real first smile. She smiles a lot, but I think it’s just because of gas pains,” said Ross Timmermans.
