Today is your BIRTH day!! I've waited a long time to meet you Isaac Shaun, and I'm glad you're finally here. I was pretty relieved when you finally arrived, and very hungry! Labor is hard work! It must have been hard for you too, because you slept a lot as soon as you'd been cleaned up and had a little snack.
Dad pretty much has all the gory details down there, so I guess all that's missing is my perspective and what I was feeling. Mostly, I was tired of being pregnant and anxious to get you out where I could get a good look at you. I was so excited to finally see you, the little guy who had been keeping me company for the last 9 months. There was a lot of pain involved in the water breaking, and in the actual getting you here, but typical of moms, we forget that stuff as soon as we see our baby's sweet face. Not that I'm ever doing this again, mind you, but you were definitely worth all the long months of pregnancy and the process of labor. Mostly, I loved watching your Dad as he held you. He's not much for words, but I'll never forget the look on his face when he held you for the first time. I knew right then that God had put you in our lives, maybe not so much for us to teach you, as for you to teach us a thing or two. Your name means laughter (Isaac) God is Gracious (Shaun), and we pray that you will not only bring laughter to our lives, but that others' lives will be blessed by knowing you, and that you will bring joy to everyone you meet. I feel that God has indeed been gracious to us in giving us you, this amazing, healthy little man. Welcome to the world, son. It's going to be a fun journey. ~ Mom
