Comparing pictures

We don't have the hospital picture so my home picture will have to do...

I originally thought Isaac looked a lot like me, then we found pictures of Christopher (older brother age 11) and he looked very similar to him but then my mom sent me a baby picture of me from the hospital. Now I think he looks like me again. You decide...

ISAAC... age 1 week

KATIE - at Birth (hospital picture)

Our little man...

We just went to the doctor for our one week well-baby check-up. The doctor said everything looks good. Isaac is in the 95th percentile for weight ( 9lbs 11 oz today - with a wet diaper - The nurse was afraid of getting sprayed!) and the 90th percentile for height (21 1/2 inches long).

We (both Isaac and I) go back for check-ups at the end of May.

One week old

My family was able to make it into town to visit over the weekend of Isaac's birth. Grandpa Steve (middle name giver for Isaac) had to go back to Clear Lake and work for the week, but came back this weekend to spend a little more time with Isaac.

I was fortunate enough to have my mom stay in town this entire week to help adjust to bringing home a baby. Her help was so appreciated and can never be repayed (though I think she might have enjoyed it just a little!!!)
Grandpa and Aunt Annie came back to pick up Grandma Carol this weekend, and they all fought to hold Isaac as much as possible. I think he'll be loved....

Isaac says, "I love my Aunt.... Her green shirt is very bright! She thinks I am cute too!"

On Saturday April 18th, Isaac turned a week old. The 1st week held many new experiences.

For Isaac:

* Meeting my Mom and Dad

* Meeting my brothers, and a very furry 4-legged friend

* Meeting my Grandma Carol and Grandpa Steve, and Aunt Annie

* Going home

* Going to church

* Going to 2 roller hockey games

* Going to Swim lessons - not for me yet!

* Going to school with my brothers

* Going out to eat at Red Robin

For Mom:

* Bringing home a baby (this goes for Daddy too!)

* Getting less sleep and still functioning fairly well (Dad too...again!)

* Not having any clothes to wear on Tuesday when we got home

* Taking a lot more time to get ready to go places, and having to plan trips around baby eating times. (I think Daddy would agree here too)

* Crying at random times for no apparent reason... and crying at times because of pure joy!

* Wearing pre-pregnancy pants to church on Saturday.... They have a button and a zipper!!! Wahoo!!!

It was a good first week. Let's see what week 2 brings. We will be sure to keep the pictures coming.

Why life is good....

Need I say more???

He's a keeper!!!

We certainly have a cutie pie.

Everyone loves him - even the dog

Strangely enough... there are few pics of Chad and I with Isaac,

but lots with Grandma

Welcome Isaac Steven

Update

We have at the most... a week and a half till we meet our munchkin. The doctor has a hunch that we will have him sometime this week, however if that is not the case, he will look to induce us by next Wednesday the 15th of April.

I plan to work through this week and then be done. Hopefully, I can be "ready" by then.

Otherwise... no news to report!
