Happy Anniversary, We're Trapped in an Elevator

On January 12th David and I celebrated our one year anniversary.  It was hard to believe that it had been a year already.  Yet in some ways it felt longer.  In one year we got married, went to Hawaii, moved, got pregnant, changed jobs, bought a house, moved again, bought a car and oh yeah... had a baby.  So in celebration of our one year we wanted to go to the movies but unfortunately Isaac's nap schedule didn't allow for it.  We decided to go visit an Aveda salon downtown that was in process of opening.  Long story short, we were on an informal tour with one of the owners who was 4 months pregnant.  She wanted to show us the Spa upstairs.  We got on the elevator to go up and alas we did not move.  In fact the doors would not open.  So David, myself and a sleeping Isaac were stuck on an elevator with a 4 month pregnant woman.  The fire department had to come and get us out and luckily Isaac never woke and  the woman was fun to talk to.  It was quite the adventure.  

For better or for worse, in elevators and out, I LOVE YOU DAVID.

Isaac's 2nd Doctor's Appointment

We decided to go to a different Doctor this time.  I was nervous that we would have the same bad experience we had at the first one we tried.  Thankfully, we did not.  I really liked Dr Irvin.  At the last doctor, they wanted us to come back in because he had lost ounces since birth.  I was really annoyed by that because it is normal for babies to lose ounces after birth.  I mean he was 9 lbs 13 oz he could stand it if he lost a few.  Anyway... I am pleased to report that there was no need to worry about weight gain with little Isaac.  He is six weeks old and weighs 14 lbs 9 oz!  He is 24 3/4 inches long, which also means he is in the 97th percentile for height and weight.  I used to think women who talked about percentiles were a little funny but now I am one of them.  As a breast-feeding mother, I take pride in his stats!  Here are some other milestones... following toys with his eyes, making noises other than crying, rolling from side to back, mimicking and holding his head up for long periods of time.  Needless to say he is keeping his mother busy.  

Too Cute For Words!

But that won't stop Isaac from trying.

One Month Old!

On November 20, Isaac was born.  It now has been a month.  I am so happy that he is growing healthy and strong.  However, I still reminisce over his birth and first couple of days and weeks.  I think about when they put him on my stomach and our first night at the hospital.  Yes, I have cried several times over these treasured memories.  Sometimes I wish I could freeze time or that I could perfectly remember a moment forever.  Still,  his size shows me that time can't be stopped.  My one month old boy fits into three month old clothes!  There are outfits he never even got to wear.  His neck is getting stronger, he can lift his head up longer.  He can smile which is probably one of the best things I have ever seen.

My Beautiful Boy

Isaac is now over two weeks old. It sounds crazy, but he is growing so fast. Everyday his face is fuller, his hands seem bigger, he is heavier to hold. 

Now, if he would just cry less... I'm not saying he cries all of the time, I mean, he doesn't cry when he's eating or sleeping. Breast-feeding is getting easier, Yay! Plus, I can now get into a pair of pre-pregnancy jeans!  If it weren't so cold out,  I might try to go out more often.  Not to mention, that it's cold and flu season.  We are all starting to adjust to the new "schedule".  Kadin has been great too! I am so thankful.
