Wow, these past 10 days have flown by. It's hard to believe that only two weeks ago our family of three was just a family of two. Now we cannot imagine a world without our little Isaiah. He is truly a miraculous blessing from God. Things have been going so well! Calie and Isaiah came home from the hospital this past Sunday. I was a nervous wreck for the first day or so; I even had to sleep on the floor next to his crib to make sure he was breathing and just in case something went wrong. We no longer had computers keeping track of everything or a floor full of nurses to answer our many questions and keep checking his vitals. Slowly but surely, things have settled down into a routine and we are all doing so great at home. Isaiah has settled into his new "Welcome to the Jungle" room and has taken right to his little play gym and bounce seat. Honestly, things are just so much easier, comfortable and nicer when your in your own home. Calie and I are able to sleep in our own bed and shower in our own bathroom; this alone makes a huge difference! Calie is doing great; you'd never even know she had a c-section. She's looking as beautiful as always and you can already tell that she was made for motherhood!
And now to the little guy, Isaiah David is doing great. And YES, I will try and get some more pictures up ASAP! This little guy is always making cute faces, sounds, stretches, hiccups, and the like. I really need a camera with me 24/7. Plus he just loves to cuddle, which is just fine with the two of us! So now I am knocking on wood as I type this, but we have been so blessed with a good, easy, content baby. He only cries when he has gas or hungry, just like his mother :-) And boy does he sleep! Not really much of a sleeper before 11:00 at night, but after his midnight feeding he sleeps right into about 8:00 in the morning. Of course we wake him every three hours to feed him, but he goes right back to sleep and thereby let's Mom and Dad catch some Zzz's as well. Our only complaint is that when he eats he doesn't like to work for it. That's my boy, he like's his boob booze from the bottle and not the tap. Smart little turkey knows his bottle is not far behind so he becomes a bit restless if he has to put forth too much effort for his meals, lazy little dude. Calie says that's a boy/guy thing...she's just so funny sometimes.
Isaiah also had his first doctor's appointment. Aside from checking his temp in a place where the sun doesn't shine, that went very well too. We really like our Doctor and everything looked great--he's gaining weight (8 lbs, 9 oz), growing (21 inches), and his heart and lungs are healthy! In no time we will be hitting the basketball court, as many nurses have commented on his big feet with his long little toes and fingers. Maybe we have a little NBA player on our hands!
That's all for now. We are doing a family Christmas this weekend with Calie's side of the family. This will be the first time he meets the Seitzer side of the family. Don't tell them this, but when we told Isaiah he was going to meet them all this weekend he started crying. Smart little guy, just kidding!!! But we have a full weekend of fun and family time ahead so we'll no doubt have some new pictures to share by then. Until then, thanks for all the continued prayers, cards, gifts, and well-wishes. May God bless each of you with a wonderful, healthy New Year!
