Baby Issac is here!
















Well this week was a crazy week. Wednesday afternoon we rushed to Ventura because my sister in law went into labor and her contractions were 5-10 minutes apart. I was supposed to be there to help her with her labor with coaching and massaging or whatever she needed. Well it was a little bit of a challenge with the two babies and with me nursing Kai. We were able to have my family watch Brandon while we were away and Ian came along to watch Kai. So we arrived there Wednesday afternoon and we all stayed up all night with Jess. Well come Thursday morning her contractions were 2-3 min apart so we went to the hospital and they checked her and she was only 1-2 cm. I think we all wanted to cry because she had been in labor since Tuesday. The good news was that the baby was doing fine and they sent Jess home to labor more until things progressed more. So Thursday afternoon Ian and I and the baby decided it would be best to leave them for a bit so Jess didn't have any distractions and could relax and focus on her labor. And we would go home, I would pump as much as I could and wait until she got closer and haul booty down to Ventura. Well Saturday afternoon I got a call from Joshy that she was admitted into the hospital and she was 5cm and they broke her water so I hauled booty down to the hospital. Well by the time I got there she had gotten an epidural (she had wanted to do it natural). But she was a trooper. So we just hung out and by 3:30 she was ready to push and 4:20 we welcomed baby Issac into the world. He is so adorable! My brother even let me hold him before he held him. It was such an amazing experience. To watch my brother become a daddy right before my eyes. Well after about a half an hour I had to shoot home to nurse my little one. I did my best not to die driving home since I had gotten no sleep. So I 'm still alive! The other pics are of course of our beautiful Lily and her sporting a couple outfits that I had gotten for a $1 each. And of my little Bubba and I when he wasn't feeling to good.
