It was a long labor, but the hospital staff at Sierra Vista were so comforting and kind to JoanMarie. They knew we wanted as natural a childbirth as possible, and they helped us stick to our birth plan. Our doula, Megan, was exceptionally encouraging and positive, making the experience much less stressful than it could have been.
I'm normally very squeamish, but I helped catch Isaiah when he came into the world. I gave him his first bath, changed his first diaper, and gave him kiss after kiss after kiss after kiss.
JoanMarie made Team Isaiah shirts for us to wear while heading home from the hospital.
Here's Isaiah with his daddy and my daddy (his grandpa).
I feel exceptionally blessed knowing that my son has JoanMarie for a mommy.

Congratulations! You have just changed the world by adding beautiful Isaiah Nathan Asher to the roster of humanity. I wish you and Joan Marie and Isaiah a doubling of joy with each day.
Isaiah is a good-looking guy! Must be from JoanMarie's side of the family. Although, I do think it's amazing how much he looks like Grandpa (Dad)? I am so excited to be Isaiah's uncle!!!
