Baby Isaac Elliott


Yay!! My sister Jackie, and husband Tyler, welcomed 8lb 8oz Isaac into their lives just before 7am on Sunday. I was just giving them time to inform everyone before blurting out the exciting news myself:)

The plan was for a home birth but after stalling at 8cm for a long time (and a lot of Scrabble playing), they went to the hospital at 1am and got some oxytocin to help out. Just before 7am, after about 3 hours of pushing (I think), and two sleepless nights, out came baby Isaac! It was hard for me to not have a clue what was going on after about 9:30pm so I only slept a few hours that night. There are very few people that I worry about to such a degree but obviously my sisters are way up there. I'm looking forward to getting to know my first Dekens nephew! Isaac, you are loved and auntie Louise is ready for another cuddle soon!




{Koen came with me to the hospital to meet baby Isaac (Gary and Kai were at the bball game) and even asked to hold him. We sang `Happy Birthday' to him. It was cute. Koen will be a great big brother! It was pretty busy with all my sisters in there so we didn't stay long and therefore didn't get many pictures.}

Jackie is recovering well and now my heart can relax for a bit before my next nephew is born in April! The number of boys may even out the girls soon enough. You can read my brother-in-law Tyler's thoughts on it here.
Yay for babies:)
