Ikie's birthday

As Isaac's birthday is approaching on 10/14/11 and my due date is quickly approaching, I was reminiscing of Isaac's birth. Below is Devin's first posting after I delivered. It was such an amazing time and we were also very hypervidgilant which makes me laugh. I wonder if we will even get a post in after baby boy #2! :)

Happy Birthday

Eight pounds eight ounces. 21 inches long. That's my baby boy. He's got a full head of hair too! I told Amanda we are going to have to get some hair gel and style it into a mohawk for his first picture. I will have to get some pictures of him up on the blog tomorrow, I am pretty tired right now and am not sure I would even be able to figure it out now. I know, I know.... "Get used to it!" I will, but it may take some time. I have been getting my eight hours of sleep for 32 years in a row, so it will be an adjustment. Anyway.... Isaac is healthy and mom is too, considering she went through a c-section..... and she has a cold..... and she has pink eye. Luckily tonight the nursed took Isaac to the nursery so Amanda can finally get some rest. I will be keeping an eye on her to make sure everything is ok. It's funny, she is sleeping right now and this is probably the first time I have heard her sleep in four weeks without snoring. I am sure her body is releived to be done with the burdeon she has endured the last 41 weeks.

I can't wait for you all to see his pics.... he has the cutest head of hair.... he even has a receding hair line. It is hilarious. And he's got this determined look in his eyes at all times. Not sure if he is trying to figure out his surroundings or trying to figure out where his bottle is. It was neat, for about the first two hours he didn't fuss... just looked around. I fed him. He drank 20 mL of formula (Amanda isn't able to breast feed at this point due to the aformentioned illnesses). After 10 mL I sat him up to burp and patted his back one time and he let out a monster belch. It got mom's and the nurse's attention. Made me proud.

Well, I am clearly rambling now and am very tired. I will work on those pics tomorrow, Isaac and mommy permitting.
