Isaac Dean was born Dec. 14 at 11:46 pm! He was 8 lbs. 5 oz. and 20 1/2 inches long. He is absolutely perfect! If you can't tell from the pictures he has red hair!! So cute!!! Everything went really well and I feel great. Can I just say, this boy did NOT want to be born on his due date (the 13th). I had contractions on friday that kinda hurt and then nothing on Saturday. Sunday they were back, but I figured it was false labor again. WRONG. It was early labor! When they got pretty close together around dinner time we decided I should go get checked... that way I would be sure to get those antibiotics in time if I needed them. We ate dinner, showered, got some stuff together just in case, and left. I was dead sure we'd be sent home. My midwife just happened to be there with another patient when we arrived so she checked me and said I was at 3-4 cm. She went ahead an stripped my membranes and said, there, now you're at a 4-5! Needless to say, I wasn't sent home after that. We arrived at the hospital at about 8:30 and Isaac was born at 11:46! It was really fast! Good thing too, cuz this time I didn't have an epidural :-).
Tyler absolutely adores him already. He wants to help us all the time and he'll sit and hold Isaac for as long as we'll let him (someone helps him, of course). He kisses him a ton and loves on him. It's just so sweet. He is such a good big brother already!
As for me, I feel great! I really do. I felt pretty good after I had Tyler but this time I feel even better. I hardly have any pain at all. I can't believe it. I just feel like I went and worked out... my muscles are a little sore. And I'm tired. Praise the Lord! I'm so glad he's finally here!
This is the outfit Dean went and chose for him to come home in.... a little Christmas suit!

Yea!! Congratulations Katie! I'm so happy for you guys! I can't wait to meet Isaac!
yay!! It's about time he ogt here!
Wahoo!!! Congrats!! Sounds like everything went really well!! I did the same thing my my Taya no drugs.. it was sure interesting but I definitely thought it was a lot easier then what others had to go througgh!!
That's great! Don't you just feel so awesome and empowered after having a baby all natural!? That's how I did my third and I'd NEVER go back! I thought the recovery was WAY easier!
So did Nicole deliver your baby? It's been my experience that she'll strip your membranes and Tracy won't!
I love the midwives! Much better than doctors if you ask me ;)
I am SO glad that Isaac is here and your all doing well!
CONGRATULATIONS!!
Congrats! I'm glad everything went so well. Enjoy your little Isaac!
Tracy delivered all three of mine! I was one of her first patients when she came to Pocatello. I had wanted to have Cecily Floyd for a midwife, but I waited too long and she already had too many ladies due in May. So I went with Tracy, she was brand new and had just joined the practice. So Tate, my now 4 year old, was one of her first babies in Pocatello. And I think there aren't many ladies in this town that can say she's delivered 3 of their kids (I feel so special ;)
I'm so glad that things went well, and you had a good experience. That can make all the difference!
Congratulations Katie! I can't believe you didn't have drugs! That is great! He is a darling litle boy!
I loved reading your story! It made me feel good because you made it sound like it was easier the second time and you had no epideral! Wow! I had Finn at home with a midwife and it was wonderful, but it did hurt a lot and i was sore for like 6 weeks, so you made me excited that maybe "next time" will be a little easier. Your baby is so cute. You are such a beautiful family!
