Well, tomorrow we will have known Isaac for two whole weeks! I expected these two weeks to be kinda crazy, but not in the ways they actually have been. I ended up having a repeat c-section- however, this time, it was AMAZINGLY better than my first one. I suspect partly because I knew what to expect, but I think generally the doctors and nurses were much less rushed and I think I must have been given different drugs or something- because I really felt great FAST after he was born. Nate joked while we were in the hospital that I should look a little "sicker" so they would let me stay through Monday:) They did:) I also suspect that God has been gracious with my health since He knew we didn't have as much help coming as we did with Olivia. My mom recently broke her wrist so only Nate's parents were able to come and stay with us- we are SO Thankful for them. They did an amazing job watching Olivia while we were at the hospital! And after:)
Olivia has done GREAT meeting Isaac! The second day she visited, she got up on the bed with us and leaned over and gave him a kiss!!! (unsolicited by parents!) And when we brought him home, she was at the window (I thought looking for me!) looking for "Baby Isaac." We aren't sure if or when "baby" will be dropped from his name and he will just go by Isaac. I am sure he will have something to say about it if it sticks for too long! At home now, I am more concerned that she will get too close to him she likes him so much. She wants to give him lots of hugs and kisses. She gets really close to him and in a baby talk voice says "Hi baby Isaac!"
The unexpected hard part of the last two weeks has been that we have all been sick!!! Poor Isaac included:( Last Thursday when Nana and Papa left, Olivia sat on the couch and watch Elmo and Micky Mouse all day- it was the most sick we had ever seen her. We brought her to the doctor on Friday and she had an ear infection. Though she has been feeling better, she went back to the doctor today, and now has one in her other ear:( Poor kid. Hopefully the new meds will help her make a full recovery.
By Sunday Nate headed to Urgent Care to get meds for a sinus infection. I had a cold the whole week, which has finally cleared up and on Tuesday we took Isaac to the doctor to make sure he was ok- they said he was despite his boogies. I think he is still fighting a little something which hopefully fully clears up soon!!!
That all said, Isaac has been an amazing baby. He is usually very content, nurses well, and sleeps plenty. Praise God! If he was a fussy baby, I am not sure Nate and I would be surviving these days!!! He is also adorable :) He has dark blue eyes which take in the world when they are open.
We are in love and so thankful for these children God has blessed us with.
