Sleep is Good

Sunday, May 21st, 2006 at 8:47 pm

Isaac slept through the night for the first time two nights ago. Kristen and I both woke up a little bit surprised - but also well rested. Hopefully this is just a sign of things to come =).

We’ve been busy keeping up with the little guy - he’s rolling over, trying to crawl, and laughing all the time. I continue to be amazed at how much he can communicate without words. It’s crazy how quickly his little mind picks things up.

Well, the fun nevers stops around here - so I’m off to bed in anticipation of an interrupted night. Hopefully, Isaac will prove me wrong.

Big smile!


Isaac’s only word so far: “Ooooh…”


Isaac looks a little too curious next to that keyboard…

Return to Normalcy

Monday, January 2nd, 2006 at 11:51 am

December has been quite the month for the Pruett family! We’ve had some health challenges with both Kristen and Isaac, and I’ve become very familiar with our local hospital. Everyone is on the mend these days, and I’ve been amazed at the love and support we’ve received from our family and friends through it all.

I have a few pictures that need to be posted, and I’ll get to them soon. For now I’m just looking forward to life beginning to look a little bit more normal.

Isaac Day 5-6

Saturday, December 3rd, 2005 at 1:37 pm

Isaac has had a busy few days. We came home from the hospital on Thursday, and decided to stay at Kristen’s folks to allow her incision to heal a little longer without having to climb the stairs in our place. Isaac slept in the car seat the entire way home from the hospital, and adjusted quickly to life in a little quieter environment.

Kristen is sleeping much better without nurses coming in to check on her constantly, and without the continual beeping of monitors and alarms. She is also healing well and continues to be able to do more each day.

Isaac had his first bath on Friday, and was visited by Grandma and Grandpa Pruett. Saturday promises more visitors, with neighbors and friends all wishing their best to our new little man.

Isaac has been sleeping well. I’ve been getting up a few times each night to change diapers, but overall he’s been very easy to care for. Right now he only seems to cry when he has a real need, and the few things he needs are easy to meet: the need to be changed, the need to eat, the need to burp, and the need to be warm.

Here are a few more pictures to capture the last few days:

Mmmm. Hospital Food… Good Food?

Tuesday, November 29th, 2005 at 11:42 pm

Day Three was marked by plenty of diaper changes - and a roommate for Kristen. The hospital had 12 new deliveries by noon! We made due with a little less space, and had a good day all around. Kristen was able to get up and shower and move around quite a bit. She continues to improve and really enjoyed switching to solid foods!!
