Meet Isaac

 In true new mom fashion, I bring you a late introduction to our sweet new addition. Meet Isaac Paul Burge!  ​We are so in love!
Picture
Isaac was born on Monday, May 16th, 2016. He weighed in at 8 pounds, 11 ounces and measured 21.25 inches long. This is him at four weeks old.

The birthmom gave me such a special gift by allowing me in the delivery room. This is just minutes after Isaac entered the world when I cut his umbilical cord.
Picture
Daddy gets to visit soon after the delivery. Isaac is healthy and happy!
Picture
Oh my heart! All these snuggles with Isaac! He's finally here!

We spent most of our days in the hospital with Isaac and our birthmom. These were special days together, the four of us. There were many of her family and friends that visited and loved on Isaac. During the day, Craig and I would get out in the Florida heat and take a walk around the hospital. We discovered this gem on one of our outings. Here's Craig testing out one machine. On another afternoon we made our (one) trip to the ocean- a quick walk down the beach was the extent of our beach day. A hospital room with a baby always beats the beach! :)
Picture
Isaac goes home... to the hotel at least! About a week later we'd begin the 865 mile journey back home. Living in a hotel with a newborn is not ideal, but this cutie can sleep through anything!

Picture
Back at home, all the furry creatures have been getting to know Isaac. Here, Buddy the dog checks on an unhappy Isaac. Buddy is excellent at identifying poopy diapers. Thanks Buddy!
Picture
Even Waddy the cat is getting excited about the baby, or at least his accessories.

Isaac sporting his "It was the dog" onesie. :)

Ruby the dog meets Isaac. I think she's smiling! Ruby has quickly become one of the caretakers of Isaac. She gets up at night to feed him and checks on him when he makes noises, of course, she thinks he just needs his toes licked.

Picture
We're getting all settled in back at home. Isaac's been loving walks in the stroller and hanging out in the shade.
Picture
Bath time! It's always an adventure. And oh my word- this cuteness!
Picture
Hanging out with Daddy! Aren't they cute. ;)

Picture
I can't even believe it! Isaac is one month old today. He has been such a blessing to our lives- our hearts are bursting with joy!
Picture

Sometimes the outtakes are even more entertaining! :)
There is more to come for sure on the blog!  This is just a taste of life with our dear sweet Isaac.  I hope to write more about our adoption journey- it's not over yet!- and how God has been working in our lives.  Thanks always for reading, praying, and supporting us!  

In love,
Beth

    An Ephesians 1:5 Blog

    "In love he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will." -Eph. 1:5 (NIV)

    I am an adopted daughter of Christ sharing how God is at work as we grow our family through adoption.

    I pray that I can begin to express in words how God's been at work in our lives.  I pray that He will be glorified as we share with others.  I pray for you! I pray that as you read this you will see God at work in your own life and that  your relationship with Him will be blessed.
