Our New Addition


Monday morning, October 8th, at 4:30 we added a new member to our family. He was definately ready to come into this world. We got to the hospital at 4:05 and I laid down on the bed about 4:23 and just a few minutes later with one good push we had a new baby boy. He was born at 4:30 and was 7 lbs 4 oz and just shy of 20 inches long. We named him Isaac Henry Weaver. He is a healthy and a happy baby. The first two nights home were a little rough with no sleep at all between 8pm and 5am but last night he started sleeping and only waking up to eat and poop every hour, thank goodness!

Mommy is doing good too. When you are not in labor for very long recovery doesn't seem to take as long. After finally getting some sleep last night though I feel great.

Maggie really likes her baby brother. She still calls him baby brother in mommies tummy sometimes but she knows who he is and that he came from my tummy. She didn't seem suprised at all when she saw that my belly had produced a baby. She likes to help me take care of him, sometimes a little too much but she is adjusting pretty well.

Adam had midterms all this week and despite having a baby and getting very little sleep he has done pretty well. He just has a couple more tests to finish up the beginning of next week. He has been a great help though!
