Four weeks ago today, at 3:40a to be exact, our lives were forever changed as our sweet baby boy entered the world. Since then, Isaac has been through more than most of us experience in a lifetime. Watching Isaac sleep this morning, I found myself amazed by all the Lord has brought us through so far & in the midst of the madness, feeling overwhelmingly blessed to have this precious little one in our lives.
I've seen several types of sleep in our sweet boy over the past four weeks. Drug-induced sleep, sleep from paralysis, sleep brought on from sheer fatigue. But today, refreshing & peace swept over me as I saw for the first time the peaceful sleep of a new baby. Amidst the machines & tubes, Isaac lay fast asleep. For a moment, the weight of last week's findings & events melted away as I stood beside my precious baby boy. His peaceful slumber seemed to whisper, "Everything's going to be alright."
Happy Birthday, Isaac! One month down, many more to go..

What a beautiful sight and what beautiful words! We continue to pray for you all and are encouraged by Isaac's sweet slumber! God Bless!
Wow, He is beautiful! We are so happy to see him look so well.
Its so nice to just watch babies sleep, I still like to watch my kids sleep and they are not babies any more. Isaac is all our baby and I love him as one of mine, thank you for sharing him with us all. Love them up now while they let you, lol. Have a great day with him! WE love you three.
you will see that time will fly by so quickly as he grows. savor these moments with him. he will be up and running around before you know it. thank the Lord for this milestone and all he has brought the three of you through. you are definitely in our prayers daily.
I was thinking about how awesome it will be for you and Isaac to look back and read your words, prayers and precious pictures through his pregnancy and birth.
I am so very happy for the healing and recovery the Lord is providing Isaac and for the strength and comfort He has been providing you.
