Change in plans.....maybe?

Time waits for no man. The last 3 weeks have been filled with preparations and appointments and cleaning.  Lisa has been in nesting mode, wanting clean and organize every space in our house. Isaac is lucky to have a clean and organized place to come home to.

Emily and mom made a countdown chain to announce the arrival of Isaac. Emily has loved counting down the days to his birthday. Lately, in her prayers, she has been praying that Isaac will come in "4" days or "3" days. It is amazing how sweet and thoughtful she is. She rarely forgets to bless Isaac's heart or that his surgery will go good. I love how she says 'surgery', it is said correctly, but just so cute. She just sounds so much more grown-up and thoughtful than her age is. That's the mark of a great mother.

The faith of the kids is what keeps us moving forward. Their faith is so pure, so innocent, so true. I can feel and see the love of God in Eli and Emily. How excited they are to welcome their little brother! They have as much love for him as we do as his parents. We are so thankful for their sweet spirits, happy countenances and faith in our home and family. Being a dad and husband is something special.

The plan is to welcome baby Isaac on Wednesday, but this might possibly change. Dr. Manuck called Lisa on Friday and scheduled a set of appointments for Tuesday. There was a meeting with the OBs, the cardiologists, and surgeons. When they got to us, there was some concern about Isaac's size. So as of right now, we are still scheduled for the 22nd. If there is anything of concern or worry after Tuesday's appointments, this date could be changed. So stay tuned.
