10 days.

Going Home

 Home is good.

Mom is here.

Isaac is easy.

Home is really good.

Hello, Isaac

We are all in love with this tiny guy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

PS- We owe a Big BIG Thank You to JD's parents and Aunt Kathryn for coming to help us out while we were in the hospital.  I hope you know how much we appreciate you and love you!

the Name.

Just to be clear:

Isaac's name was chosen before the hurricane.  :)

 Isaac means "laughter" or "he will laugh."

We love that- it's perfect for this little guy who rounds out our family.

And as a bonus, it is a family name.  My great-great Grandfather was Isaac (I know nothing about him, beyond his name.)

 James is the real family name.  JD's Papa is James- that is who we chose the name after, although it is sprinkled through my family too.  (The name "James" was a heavy contender when we named Ty also.)

 

The girls knew his name a few days before he was born.  They promised up and down they could keep the secret.  So far, we've only found one person it was leaked to.  Haha!  :)

September 5th

With about an hour and a half warning, we ended up in the operating room a day earlier than planned (thank you, high blood pressure.)

I was in mid-mini-panic-attack here:

Isaac James Parker was born at 5:45 pm

The waiting room:

 

Although another c-section was not what I hoped for, it was more than worth it.

September 5th   5:45 pm

6 pounds  5 ounces  18 inches

One more swim-

 before Baby Boy comes.

(Ty said it was too bright.)

  Thursday is the big day.  Unless he decides to come on his own.  Once again, I'm ready to not look like this:

I'm bigger than I've ever been in my life.

 

 

You're welcome, Mom.
