(Pictures against white wall and collages comparing Isaiah in the womb and out were taken by my mom on Isaiah’s 2-week birthday.)

Today we celebrate Isaiah’s 3-week birthday. It’s hard to believe that a little over 3 weeks ago he was still in the womb…seems so long ago. At Isaiah’s doctor’s appointment on Wednesday he weighed 9 lbs. & 2 oz. and measured 21 inches. The doctor gave him a glowing report. Little Brother is doing great with all his feedings and has figured out his days and nights properly.

Becca is doing great with Little Brother. She has been willing to hold him a little more often and asked to have her picture with him on the floor (pictures on the right). She’s always quick to inform me when Isaiah is crying in bed. “Mommy,” she says, “Little Brother is angry.”

We enjoyed our Father’s Day. Josh continues to be an amazing husband and am amazing daddy. I love watching him with our children. I’m delighted Isaiah has such a godly man to pattern his life after. I’m so thankful for my husband!

I’m recovering quite nicely from the c-section. I still have 3 more weeks of no driving, heavy lifting, and swimming, but I feel good and haven’t had any trouble (yet) getting back into the swing of things. Of course, my days are busier. Next week will be our first “normal” week with no company, so we’ll see how I do all day balancing 2 while Josh is gone. I will say that being a mommy continues to be a sweet and wonderful gift. Sometimes (during a quiet moment) I just sit and smile, so happy. After all the stress with Becca’s birth and all the stress of wondering if something would go wrong with Isaiah, we now have 2 wonderful gifts from God: Becca & Isaiah. Children are truly a gift.
