Zamar Othel Deering was born to Chris and Sheena last night at 7:40 pm. He was born 7 lbs 4 oz after 20+ hours of labor. Sheena is doing well and I imagine Chris couldn't be happier. I have not seen him yet but I can't wait!

Taking The Fuzzi Bunz Plunge
So we decided to do it. We are going cloth. After a ton of research, ( I was a little compulsive) I am really excited to use cloth diapers. We decided to do it for several reasons. First, it is economical. Why throw $ away? Literally. Which leads me to my second reason... environmental. I would share some info about sposies (term for disposables I picked up during my extensive research) but it's pretty depressing. Let's just say cloth is greener. Finally, Isaac's tushie. I am hoping that his rear will enjoy the choice as well. It seems like a less convenient choice but I am hoping I can handle it. The other option is EC, but that is a whole 'nother post.
A little FB shout out to Sarah (mommy of Noah) for answering a ton of my questions!

What Goes On When Mom's Not Around
Sadly, I did not get to experience this in person. Luckily, I have a wonderful husband who can record things.

Papa, This Post Is For You
Today, Isaac had another doctor's appointment. We found out that Isaac is nearly 17 lbs. He is healthy and wonderful. He can "talk" more. He especially likes having conversations with his toys. Sometimes when I try to join in, he gives me a look like I'm interrupting their fun. I don't mind though. He also grabs at toys with his hands, and he really likes to stand up. He is growing so quickly that a lot of his outfits don't fit. I'm moving him up to 6 month old clothes. He will be 3 months on the 20th.

Kadin's Concert
Tonight was Kadin's first Suzuki violin concert. I really enjoyed seeing him up there on stage doing a rendition of Twinkle Twinkle. It may as well have Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. I was so proud. I hope he keeps it up. I am amazed at what these kids can do. Plus, he looked handsome while he did it.

SAHM
A few days ago, I told my boss at Pure Concept that I would not be returning to work. David and I decided that I would stay at home with Isaac. I had every intention of going back. In fact, I didn't think that I would take the full maternity leave. But everything changed when he was born. I feel like my heart grew bigger. Isaac's birth changed my perspective on so many things. I make sacrifices that I never imagined, with more ease than I ever imagined. When I think of Isaac in the Bible, I think of how he got on the altar as a sacrifice to God. With my Isaac, I feel as though it is me on the altar. I feel challenged to die to my selfishness and vain conceit. In certain ways, it seems scary but I can already tell that there is so much that God is offering to me. He is making me more like him. He is letting me witness this little person's whole life. He has made me a mother. I am being reshaped and redefined. He is showing me more of who He is through Isaac. The other day I was looking at Isaac and I realized I love him... not because of what he's done for me or because of what a great baby he is, I love him because He is mine. I finally see why Jesus loves us in spite of flaws, sins, space and time. He loves us so much simply because we are HIS.
Isaiah 43:1
But now, this is what the Lord says-
he who created you, O Jacob
he who formed you, O Isreal
"Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
