It’s my due date today and I have a healthy, perfect 2 week-old. A McLeod County public health nurse will be here soon and I’ll have an updated weight for him. Isaac seems to be adjusting well to life in our house. We’re adjusting as well. I need to work on fitting in some naps. The middle of the night feeding times are tiring. Speaking of Isaac, it sounds like he’s awake. I better run. I’ll write more later.

Okay, I’m back. The nurse visit went well. I really liked her. She was really encouraging and told me that I was a “model” in regards to my approach to taking care of Isaac. I don’t know about that, but I think I’ve learned a couple of things from parenting Ethan and Audrey. She weighed Isaac and he was 7 lbs, 7 oz. That’s up 7 ounces in 4 days! It seems that Isaac and I are getting the hang of nursing. I finally have the milk he needs and he seems to be working hard enough to get what he needs. I’m proud of us! We’ve worked hard.
It’s just Audrey, Isaac and I tonight. The big boys went to see the movie Up. Ethan was very excited to go. He and Daddy watched all the previews and he’s been talking about the movie like he’s already seen it!
