Isaiah's First Week

Well this week has certainly been a whirlwind! I still have a hard time believing that we are parents to such an amazing baby boy! First of all, I wanted to follow up to Jeremy's lst post. It was an incredibly hard labor and unfortunately my hope for a medication free birth was dashed. The reason why I bring this up again... to thank my husband publicly. He was such an amazing support person! Jeremy did everything he could to keep me comfortable and when I couldn't go on anymore, he held me tight, allowed me to cry, and let me know that it was okay. He would not let me be disappointed in myself-he was wonderful!

We had a lot of visitors this week, including my sister and brother-in-law who stayed for the entire week. I don't know how we would have gotten anything done without them here. We certainly wouldn't have eaten as well! Jeremy and I are so grateful to them and hope that they make it back home again soon! Isaiah got to spend some quality time with his Nana Miller, Grandma Christian, lots of cousins, aunts and uncles, and even got to meet his new friend Liam! Here are some pics from the week:
