Welcome, Isaac... Finally!

After a very short and HARD labor, Isaac Steven was born on 10/27 at 12:20am weighing 8 lbs, 10 oz. and measuring 20.5 inches long. Praise God with us that he is healthy! So far, he is an excellent eater and sleeper. He looks very much like Cal did when he was born (but much bigger!).

38 Weeks!

Can you tell I wear the same thing everyday?

Happy Birthday

Cal's playgroup had a big birthday party for all the kids on Saturday. We had a fun time with balloons, lots of snacks, toys, and of course, cupcakes.

More Potty, Please!

Cal went potty in his toilet today! I went to change his diaper and noticed that it was completely dry, so I asked him if he wanted to go potty on his chair. I ran the water, told him to push and went, "Psssss." I have no idea if any of those things worked or if it was coincidence. When he was done, I cheered for him and dumped the pee into the toilet. He started bawling, yelling, "more potty, please!"

Dreams

A couple nights ago, Cal woke me up with hysterical crying. I went in to check on him and he was half sitting up yelling, "More ice cream, please!" I said, "Cal? Are you ok? More ice cream?" He said, "Yeah. More ice cream!" I rubbed his back and said, "Are you dreaming about ice cream?" He looked around, calmed down and said, "Yeah. White ice cream."

A couple months ago, I heard him in the middle of the night saying, "Elmo."

We no longer have to wonder what kids dream about.

Our little boy?

We went to Hannah's house for dinner and I got to borrow some pjs since mom and dad forgot to bring some. I loved these and didn't want to take them off. Daddy made me, though.

36 Weeks!

Eric and Leah's Night O' Fun

I dialated from 1 cm to 2 cm in just 24 hours, but they gave me a shot to stop labor... so we are at home again- with Isaac inside me. Who knows?!

I'm not sure why my face is so red and splotchy. Eric said it was the light, but I look kinda spooky.

Oh, and I'm trying to do the Jim face from The Office.

Chocolate Cupcakes- Good.

I have been having lots of fun. I play with Sammy every day and like to try to make him play with certain toys, following him around saying, "Here ya go, Sammy."
I miss Hannah like crazy. She's been busy with her new baby brother, but I hope to see her more in the weeks to come.
