2 weeks with our Isaac

It is hard to believe that we have now had Isaac with us for two weeks! It is even harder to remember that yesterday was our due date! Isaac is such a sweet mellow little guy. He sleeps and eats great for a newborn. We had ongoing issues with his Bilirubin. Thankfully the numbers have finally gone down, and so have all of our daily appointments with the pediatrician for checks. As of Monday, Isaac was up to 8 lb and 4 oz! We will not have an official 2 week check up since Isaac was just seen on Monday.

Isaac, like his older siblings, was flagged in his newborn screening with a cystic fibrosis gene. Unlike his siblings, he will not need a sweat test at UNC. The director of the program has decided that with the first three children only being carriers there is not enough concern to force us to go through the test again with Isaac! This is a huge answer to prayer since the test is so miserable to go through.

Luke, Ben, Gracie, Jacob and Caleb all adore their little brother. He has already become such a part of the family it is hard to imagine a time when he was not here. Caleb, of course, is having the hardest time adjusting to not being the baby and missing time with Mommy. But, Caleb still adores Isaac!

Here is a montage of photos of our first two weeks with this sweet boy!
