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!
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. |  Daddy gets to visit soon after the delivery. Isaac is healthy and happy! |  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! :) |  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! |
 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! |  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. |
 We're getting all settled in back at home. Isaac's been loving walks in the stroller and hanging out in the shade. |  Bath time! It's always an adventure. And oh my word- this cuteness! |  Hanging out with Daddy! Aren't they cute. ;) |
 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! |   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
