I am MOM!

It is crazy to believe, but one week ago, I became a mother. Since then this has been a week of firsts with Isaac and an adjustment for the whole family. First, I had a C-section. It was determined to be necessary after Isaac was facing posterior, only at +1, and a factor we didn't know until after delivery--Isaac's head was 14 3/4 inches. My baby has a big head like his dad! Because I had a C-section, I had to stay in the hospital a little bit longer, I cannot drive for two weeks, and I cannot lift more than 20 lbs. I am trying not to go crazy with the restrictions!

Isaac has now spit up on, peed on, and pooped on me! He tends to save his nastiest diapers for me once Chris has left for work. We are breast-feeding, which so far is going pretty well. Marvin hasn't decided what he thinks of Isaac yet. Although during the day, when Isaac is sleeping so are Marvin and Mom!

On Tuesday, Isaac got to experience his first snow. We also went to the doctor for the first time. Isaac weighs 8 lbs. 2 oz. He is gaining weight since we left the hospital (He was 7 lbs. 15 oz on Saturday). He is a healthy boy! Yesterday, we gave him his first bath. He didn't really seem to like it, but Chris and I both agree that he feels so much better. He lost his belly button decoration last night, so now we can actually give him a real bath. After much debating (mostly in my head), we decided to give Isaac a pacifier. He slept well last night because of it. I am not sure if it was the right decision, but he is happier and sleeping well!
