Our Baby Boy is Here!

Isaac Robert Davis was born 12/31/09 at 8:56 pm.  He weighed 10 lbs. 5 oz, 22 inches long.  He is perfect and we are so happy.

I am still amazed that I carried that 10 lb. baby.  I am even more amazed that the ultrasound technicians all thought he was going to be just under 9 lbs.  Where was all that baby hiding?  Nonetheless, after 12 hours of labor and an hour and 15 minutes of pushing HE IS HERE!

The whole experience was so amazing (minus the really hard labor pains).  It was an experience that has brought so many things to my life.

Here are 10 things that I have learned or reflected on after the birth of my son:

1.  God is so amazing, powerful and good.  I am amazed at how God made women's to be able to go through labor and delivery.

2.  My husband and I have an even stronger relationship after experiencing the birth of our son together.

3.  We are a family now; not just a couple.

4.  My husband is an amazing man and the best support person I could have asked for.  He is so strong and I always know I can count on him for anything and everything.  He always finds a way for me to love him just a little bit more when I think I love him to the fullest already.

5.  I feel like a stronger woman after having a baby.

6.  I know that I was meant to be a mom.

7.  I love that my husband is such a hands-on father and wants to do everything with his son.  (i.e. baths, diapers, reading to him, singing to him, rocking him to sleep).  He's an amazing dad already.

8.  I can't believe how much I love our son.

9.  I couldn't imagine not having our family here for this amazing event.

10.  This is going to be a great ride.
