Hello Sweet Baby!!!

Isaac Benjamin

Arrived January 23, 2009 (his due date) at 5:48 p.m.

8 pounds 14 ounces

21 1/4 inches

Daddy admiring our little miracle!


Grandma Gail and Isaac...
We were so lucky to have her here to help
before and after Isaac finally arrived.


Isabelle, Landon, and Levi were SO excited to meet
their new brother. Isabelle was ready to get her
hands on Isaac's chubby cheeks


This big sister was super excited to finally get to hold our
baby... she'd been talking about this moment for months!





To be honest, Brandon and I just might be the most indecisive couple when it comes to naming our children. This time around was no exception, but we made the final decision in time to fill out the birth certificate. I'm happy to say that this little boy is the first grandchild to be named after my mom's family. More specifically my grandpa's name was Weldon Benjamin Isaacson. He passed away before I got to know him because I was so young. But through my mom's stories I feel like he was/is the type of man that I want our son to be named after. I was shocked when Brandon didn't veto the name because he vetos everything. Plus I really started coming around to the name when Isabelle saw it written down and said "mom, his name matches my name!" because it starts with I-S-A like hers. Ever since then she didn't want to consider any other name for her brother. So she's had him named for the last 3 months. Just seeing how much Isabelle loved the name helped me fall in love with the name too. However, it still took me 24 hours of having him here to decide that he was indeed an Isaac Benjamin.

We had the same type of naming experience with our Isaac. We didn't REALLY decide until he was blessed.
Congrats! I bet you are feeling better with no belly.:)
Your family is beautiful. I wish I was there.
