Today I would have been 40 weeks pregnant. In fact, I had an induction scheduled for this morning. It was my back up plan (I was induced with both girls because of hypertension). A labor and delivery nurse called at 7:45am today. She was wondering why I didn't show up for my appointment! I kindly explained that I had a one month lying in the crib down the hall.
The last month has been joyous with isaac. While recovery has been difficult and the juggle of 4 kids overwhelming at times, I am so happy mr. i is here. I've enjoyed my "bonus" month with him being so small and precious. It pains me to no end (time! freeze!), but he's growing and getting bigger. I think we've even moved on up from preemie to newborn diapers. :) Isaac's more and more alert each day. He takes everything in, calmly looking around with wide eyes. We're still up every 3-4 hours at night, but I don't even mind that. It's the calmest time of my day!
I just LOVE this tiny one.

p.s. all the picture credit goes to my fabulous friend, amy. She agreed to come over today and take some photos of us together. It was a great way to celebrate one month of isaac's life & such a treat to be in a photo WITH my kids. I love you, amy!
You are beautiful! And his cheek that is resting on the swaddle...so so kissable.
So fun to see your wonderful blog again! Even better with YOU on it.
