An eventful day for Isaac

Well, today was definitely the most eventful day that Isaac has had so far. It started off great...Isaac had a GREAT night! I was certainly pleased about that...only woke up twice to feed and went right back down when he was done. So, even though the night was great...Taylor was still wiped out:

He got home from his two morning classes and crashed on the couch! Haha... Here's Nana (my mom) with her first grandchild!
After a good morning nap and good feeding, we gave Isaac his first sponge bath...he didn't like it very much...

But, always an entertainer, peed on dad in the middle of it!!!


That seriously was so funny...it was one of those things you say "ok, he's going to pee, watch out, or cover him up" and when you least expect it...it comes. It was funny!
Done with the first sponge bath!
I love the above picture...it shows that Isaac got him mama's lips! Look at his bottom lip...haha, he's so cute!
And then...we were off to the Doctor's office to be circumcised....dun dun dun....

BUT, good news, Isaac did GREAT!!! He cried a little bit when they stuck the shot in him to numb the area--which was so hard for me--but then practically fell asleep through the rest of the procedure. And, has been great ever since. The doctor said he may be a little irritable this evening, but so far, he's good. He's currently sound asleep.


If the circumcision wasn't enough, we had to go to the hospital today to get Isaac's 2nd PKU done. This is where they take blood samples from his little foot...I'd say it was a prick, but it wasn't a needle they used, it looked more like a mini razor blade. But again, he did great through this as well!! We were so proud of him...after this he fell fast asleep in the car seat. So, so far so good, we'll see how the night goes tonight.


This was the most activity I've had since coming home from the hospital and it definitely wiped me out. I don't know what my deal is, but I have the hardest time taking a nap. It was a total different story when I was in school, but now for some reason I just can't stop what I'm doing (which really, what am I doing right now when Isaac's asleep??) to lay down and rest.

Val,
I don't understand. You have a brand new baby and you look like you stepped off of the runway. You look gorgeous. I was a train wreck for the first six weeks of Eliza's life. Where's the justice!? Anyway, I love these posts. Congrats on a great night sleep!!
