Hurricane Isaac

There was a great deal of build up for this storm. It was slow moving, and anticipation was high. Friends and family alike were anxious, and many were praying.

After weeks of build up, one drill, and many false alarms, its much awaited arrival finally hit home. It was bigger than ever anticipated...




...and the cuteness took us all by storm.

Please welcome Isaac Carl! He was born August 20 at 8:21 pm, weighing 9 lbs 11 oz, and 21.5 inches tall. God answered many prayers with this delivery! Though Isaac was late, and big, he came on his own, the labor was brief, and Mommy's recovery has been the easiest yet (no stitches!).  He is a very happy and content baby, not really living up to the storm hype. However, maybe one day, he will be some awesome athlete, and everyone will call him "The Hurricane." A mommy can dream. ;-)

FYI, he was here and named before the storm, and this blog is cheesy, but I just couldn't help myself. =)
