Growing......

Well, Isiah is now 2 1/2 weeks old and is growing like a weed!! We just had his 2 week check-up yesterday and he now weighs 6lbs. 10oz. and is 19 1/4". So that was awesome news! This is my first week home alone with Isiah during the day. I was lucky enough to have Mesh home with me the first week and then last week my mom came and stayed with us. And even though I am 29 years old, there is nothing like having your mom around!! And especially her cooking, YUMMY!!! Isiah did have to spend a few nights at Blank Children's Hospital because he had a fever, but after lots of blood work they think it was just a virus and he is good to go. That was great news to hear. We are so thankful for all the gifts and prayers that have come our way since Isiah was born. We feel truly blessed, and it is just great to have such amazing friends and family. We love you all!!

1st week as parents......

Well, we have completed our first week as parents. Isiah has our heart and is a true blessing. We love him SO much!! We are adjusting to lack of sleep and getting up every few hours in the middle of the night. Mesh didn't work the first week, so that was GREAT to have him home. He is such an amazing daddy!! Mesh and Isiah have a little morning routine which includes Mesh in the recliner with Isiah taking his morning nap on daddy's chest. It is such a beautiful sight. Each day we are seeing changes in Isiah and he is growing quickly. He went to his first dr. apt. on Wed. and had already gained an ounce, so we were excited about that. He got a bouncer from his Aunt Jackie, and he loves it as you can see.

It's a BOY!!

Well, if you haven't heard yet we were blessed with a beautiful healthy boy on August 2nd. He decided he was going to join this world about 3 1/2 weeks early. We were more than surprised with his arrival, but are loving him more and more each day! I was shopping at Younkers with my mom and sister when my water started to break, so I knew it must be a boy because no girl would ruin a Mommy's shopping trip! After 15 hours of labor, Isiah Kipkoech Sambu joined the world at 7:23AM weighing in at 5lbs. 12 oz. and measuring 18 3/4". We will continue updating this blog as he grows and our lives change :)
