Five Fabulous Facts (about why today was great!)

Today was such a great day on so many levels!  Here's why...

1.  Isaac smiled!

2.  Isaac giggled!

3.  I got to hold Isaac!

4.  Isaac got to drink milk!

5.  Isaac turned 16 months old yesterday!

Today was really awesome.  We started the day by decorating his room with lovely Halloween decorations that Grammie and Gabe made.  Isaac loved reading books and lifting the flaps in his book.  He even giggled when we played peek-a-boo!  My day was complete within the first hour of seeing him with all these exciting things.

Just then, his urologist came in a cleared him to drink clear liquids today and told me I could hold him!  I have not held him or nursed in over a week.  This is the longest time I've not been able to hold or feed him.  I felt patient as I really didn't know what to expect so I set my bar high thinking it could be weeks.  When I heard this news today, I was over the moon!  It was definitely a little challenging to hold him  and breastfeeding him was creative, but so worth it.  He even fell asleep in my arms (well actually arm, since he was technically mainly on a pile of pillows and one arm.... but hey, I'll take it!) for a nice little morning nap.

He played with Gabe and Pap-Pap and let Papa get him to sleep tonight. He was not as leery of everyone coming in and he even smiled at his surgeon.
