One month old

Isaac turned one month old yesterday! He is getting bigger by the day- not sure how much he is weighing, but we go to our pediatrician appointment tomorrow. At his 2 week appt. he was exactly 8 pounds. He definately likes to eat and keeps mommy busy in that department!

Isaac is sleeping VERY well. Lately he is going anywhere from 3-5 hours between feedings at night. Last night he went down at about 10:00 and didn't wake up again until 3am and again at about 7:30 am! He is such a sweet baby! When he gets up in the night though he likes to stay awake for a while singing, grunting & snorting in his bassinet....after so long mommy needs some sleep and he gets in bed with us...shuts him right up! Hopefully we are not forming a habit here!

For the past month we have had family visiting us and now everyone is gone so we are just getting used to things on our own. Andy's mom came out for about 2 weeks and then his dad and neice visited for a few days. The day they left Andy's brother and sister in law came out with there family for a few days. It is hard to see everyone go since they are so far away, but I am looking forward to getting into some sort of routine.

I can't even explain how much I love being a mother. It has been so amazing so far and I am enjoying everything about it. Just looking at him brings tears of joy to my eyes. He is such a gift from God.

He also has an amazing daddy. Andy is so helpful and loves his boy! He has had to travel 2 weekends since Isaac was born and it was really hard on all of us. We just got a web cam so he can see us when he is on the road. Thankfully Andy will be home for a little bit and in April Isaac and I are going to be able to go along with him on one of his trips. Andy has to go to Annapolis, MD and since it's just a 4 hour drive we are going to drive and all go. Should be fun!
