Isaac Emmanuel...is HERE!!

Isaac at 3 days old.


Wow! I can't believe his finally here!
God is sooo sooo good to us, I can't even begin to describe it.

It all began on Sunday March 6 at 4:40am, I started to have contraction that were irregular and about 7-10 min apart. At around 3:00pm Sunday, we decided to go to the hospital. They went ahead and checked me and said I was only 1 to 2 centimeters open and to go home and waited out a bit longer.

I kept having contractions that entire day I just kept rocking in my chair waiting for the contractions to hit! At around 8pm I decided to walk around the house, I walked and walked and walked (only stopping to pee) even through my contractions. At 2am I decided it was time, with every contraction I felt a small urge to push!. Emmanuel and I went to Melody rooms kissed her, told my parents(they got there in the afternoon to help us watch Melody) we were leaving and off we went! We were feeling happy/excited/nervous and pain all at the same time!

We arrived to the hospital at 2:40am the nurse checked me and said "Your open 8cm" followed by her telling another nurse "CALL DR.VU!!" She then started to put the IV. I told Emmanuel to go to the car and bring all of our stuff since this was it. He left the room at around 2:55am. About 5 min after he left MY WATER BROKE! and suddenly a strong urge to push followed, after that everything happend sooo fast! the nurse screams "CALL DR.VU, CALL DR.VU!!!" She then started to wheel my bed in to another room. In the back of my mind I thought "OMG, Emmanuel's gonna miss this!" BUT he didn't he got there about 3 min later and the Dr. was there in like 5 min (witch at the time it felt like an eternity!) I kept asking the nurses "Where is the Dr.? Is she home? is she here in the hospital? WHERE IS SHE?"

Once the Dr. got there I pushed FOUR TIMES and Isaac Emmanuel was OUT! and the very happy and excited proud Daddy cut the umbilical cord.

He was born Monday March 7,2011 at 3:37am weighing 6lbs 9oz 19.5" long

Proof Is In His Actions, Not Just His Words

I start this blog by asking myself, how did I get so lucky? Lucky to have such a great
man that's kind, considerate, caring, and listens. He’s always interested in what’s going on with me.We talk every day I mean we have real conversations. Emmanuel is always available for me. He always makes time for me.


I believe in reaping what you sow (Galatian 6:7-8) I believe that good things will happen
to you if you have shown kindness to others. However, with this pregnancy my hormones have been out of control and I've been sooo moody,
but still he showers me with love and affection especially during the
times when I really need it (like when my Pregnancy hormones go all crazy!)


He has a steady job and provides for his family. He helps around the house,
even sometimes he actually does more chores than me. He does not smoke nor
drink. He loves his family and MY family, and that is rare nowadays. Oh and did I mention he's the most intelligent person I know?


I just feel very blessed to know that I married this amazing man who loves me just the way I am.I love you so much, baby!

God gave me the best man ever as my husband!!!!

A New Addition To The Family

Happy to share with friends and family that we are expecting our second child! Only 4 weeks until my due date… and that means only 2 weeks until I'm “full-term”.  (Since babies are born on average between 38 and 42 weeks, they use 40 weeks as your due date, but the average baby is fully ready anytime after 38 weeks).

Time is flying by! I’m excited for baby Isaac to be here, but at the same time I am in no rush for the pregnancy to be over. I have loved every single second of this incredible and miraculous time (even my first trimester, were I could not get out of bed and was nauseous the entire 3 months!). I love my big huge belly and I am going to miss it when it’s gone.  We are extremely excited and can't wait to hold him. Melody is very excited  about having a baby brother; she talks about Isaac everyday!


On Saturday Emmanuel and I decided to get some belly shots(Belly shots at 35 weeks), I'm now 36 weeks (so we decided to take pictures before I pop! :-D) and we wanted to share! We took this at our home and Melody got in on all the action.
