I had gotten up early to run errands in Greenville with my bright eyed and beautiful baby girl Olivia. I turned into our drive way after a full morning of running around. I was finally getting the swing of being a mom of a three month old baby, having now recovered (mostly) from my c-section. When I got home, I put Liv down for a nap and I started thinking "when will I get my "womanly time of the month back?" (I didn't know the best way to phrase it for a blog post) = ) I was thinking I am not breast-feeding so it should be any time right? I was always very regular so it mildly concerned me that at three months postpartum I hadn't received another "period" after my initial one coming home from the hospital. I mentioned to Kirk that night at dinner that I still hadn't received my period (like it's a gift, ha!) and I was concerned. He reassured me that it wasn't a big deal most likely and that in a week or so I probably would.
The next morning I felt a very uneasy feeling about the situation and felt compelled to see if maybe...just maybe I was pregnant again. I drove to the local Bi-lo and purchased the least expensive test I could find. I drove home and took it. I played with Olivia on the floor while I waited, becoming more and more convinced that there was surely no way I was pregnant with my second baby only three months after the delivery of my first! I walked back into the bathroom and there staring back at me were two bright pink lines.
I was so excited, but completely taken off guard. I thanked the Lord for this precious baby and I called Kirk. He was at work, but I felt I needed to tell him immediately. I knew he'd be thrilled...but totally shocked! I called several times, and on the third time he answered. He had walked out of class to answer the phone. So I knew I had to be quick. I said "Guess What?"..I gave him no time to answer. I said "I'm pregnant!". He was totally surprised and super excited! Olivia and I were supposed to go over to a friends house for a play date that morning in Powdersville and I knew I was going to be late. I called my friend and explained a little of the situation. She was super excited for me, and said for me to come when I could. It was great to be able to share my exciting news with a friend!
Isaiah entered the world via c-section on July 13th 2009 at exactly noon. He was 7 lbs 12 oz's and all I remember right when they showed him to me was how he was so wiggly! He seemed very active from the beginning and we were beyond thrilled to have a baby boy. He has brought so much activity to our home. He is our fearless child. Rolling over at 2 weeks, and crawling at 5 months. He has been on the move as soon as he could figure out how. He is constantly in motion, even in his sleep! He reminds of Kirk, always busy and so joyful! Isaiah is such an explorer and oh so curious! We have enjoyed having his bright personality in our family, he is a blessed addition!! Happy Birthday baby
