My Dearest Isaiah

January 30, 2005

My Dearest Isaiah,

You are even more precious than I could have ever imagined! Truly you are a miracle from God and your dad and I are in awe of you. We just can’t keep from staring at you and watching your every move.

Isaiah, your name means “God is Salvation.” David, your middle name (after your father’s name) means “Beloved of God.” We had a handful of different names picked out for both boys and girls, but we came up with the name Isaiah just hours before you were born.

You are so beautiful and adorable, I wish I could record every move and sound you make! Your little noises are too cute, you squeal and squeak and pant with little breaths. You have us cracking up! Especially when you fart! You are a tooting machine! Who ever thought that such a big explosion could come from something so small? You make your daddy proud!

Your entry into this world was hard on me, and Dr. Yang had to use the vacuum to help pull you out. I was in such pain and agony, I thought you would never come out! But it’s absolutely true, what all mothers say…once they placed you in my arms I felt nothing but joy! It was an experience beyond words. I’m so happy we waited to see if you would be a boy or a girl because it was the best surprise of our lives! Your daddy cut the umbilical cord and was just beaming with pride for his healthy young son!

My recovery from your birth has been pretty rough. My body is a mess, but my heart overflows! Your father has been so caring and helpful. I never thought I could love him even more than I did, but I do. He is so good with you, he’s a natural! He is the greatest man I have ever known, in every single way. There are times when I just can’t take the pain in my body that I feel so helpless and sad. But all it takes is just one look at you, a smile or a little noise from you and I am overwhelmed with happiness, despite my agony. I know that all this pain will soon pass, and I probably won’t even remember it. But even if it never left me, it is all worth it, 100%!

You are quite the handsome little man! I think you look just like your daddy! You were born with sideburns, and of course a nice head of hair! I think your eyes, eyebrows, nose and lips look just like your father’s. You even have dimples (as I was hoping you would) just like him! Your dad doesn’t see it as much as I do. You almost don’t look like me at all! Except that every now and then you look like a little China Man.

Everyday now is a new adventure for our lil family. We cherish every moment. We love you very much, Peanut!
Love…Unconditionally,

Mom
