Happy Birthday Isaac!
Isaac turned 4 this week .. hooray! He's a wonderful little boy. But ... 4 doesn't seem so little anymore. We call him our little squirt ... and I mean that in a totally loving, endearing, special way. It's just like he doesn't grow out of his "babyness". My cousin called him a little "ball of love" when he was a baby ... and that is exactly what he seems like still today. You can just love him up!!
Anyhoo ... it took me back memory lane ...
Here I am in the last days of pregnancy with him (yes, I get huge ... and to think I'll look like that again soon!). His has been my only unmedicated birth ... and it was the greatest experience. Everything moved quickly, and while I requested the epidural, I was already ready to push. It wasn't in my plans (I previously loved my epidurals and made my request immediatly upon arrival at the hospital) but I was so thankful for how it all worked out. I'll never forget the quiet moments in between contractions when I could really digest that I was about to birth this baby and feel every bit of it! But it was unlike anything I'd ever expected. It was easier, more rewarding and I recovered so much quicker. I planned to do the same with Sam, but the induction did not go as planned and I ended up with an epidural once again. Anyhoo, back to Isaac ... his birth was awesome and so was our adjustment period following.
Here is a photo of him when he is just a few months old ... check out the hair! And those droopy cheeks ...
Oh, he was such a good baby ... adjusting to him was so incredibly easy. He'd sleep in a basket on the kitchen countertop while the kids would play around him. He just went with the flow. Thinking back on this time, it seems so long ago ... but yet, I can't believe that he is now four.
What a great little package! Happy Birthday to our precious Isaac!

Wow Brooke, you were all baby! But I can't say that I wasn't that way when pregnant with Ava. :) I love the picture of Isaac as a newborn, how cute was he? And he continues to be adorable!

I so understand....Josh turned 4 in July and it doesn't seem possible that it was THAT long ago. ( I sometimes feel like it was only 5 years since college....just kidding myself I guess).
He is a cutie!! And you look so healthy pregnant!!

What a cutie! My oldest is about to turn 10 this Wednesday, so I'm feeling a bit nostalgic myself...
And congrats on your pregnancy! My sister, Debbles with a latte from Sonlight, is also pregnant...about 7 weeks I think.

I love the picture of Isaac as a baby! It remeinds me of Braden, my oldest. He had lots of hair and it stood straight up! Time flies though. He's now 5.5 and Banjamin will be two in less than three months.
