It wasn’t funny when we arrived at the hospital on July 6, 2006. There was a bit of anxiety hanging in the little room where we waited. The baby boy needed to come today, the doctor had decided.
And when the nurse came to tell us, I’d have to stay in that same room to be induced, a room which was fully equipped, but felt more like a closet, no one chuckled.
From start to finish, four hours and forty minutes which were a roller coaster of feelings and emotions; I did not giggle.
When it was time, and the nurse called for the doctor because we knew IT WAS TIME, he came in and said, “There’s no way its time. That baby hasn’t even dropped yet.”
But, with two quick pushes, Isaac surprised us all. There was my healthy baby boy. Peace and joy, with fresh-baby-sweetness were all rolled up in that bundle. I remember in those moments how we all laughed.
And he hasn’t stopped making us laugh since.
With a tender heart and a contagious smile, you’ve brought so much joy to us. I’m glad God gave you to our family!
We love you, Isaac! happy eighth birthday!
