How Isaac came into the world

Emily has asked me, her dutiful DH to share our story.

It all happened long ago... Friday night to be exact... that the
contractions began to become intense. After not getting much sleep
Saturday came the day had come that Emily decided from the begining
that she wanted Isaac to be born. So we went to the South Towne Mall
and walked all over. The contractions where begining to take her
breath away but she was able to focus enough to buy this really sexy
red evening dress (post baby of course)! After while it was just time
to go home.
At home we got things organized and the kids off to bed. Unlike for
Eliza, Emily's water didn't break so she was unsure if shecwould be
admitted. Emer suggested that we wait till after midnight so that we
didn't get charged for the whole day! Once we got to the hospital
Emily was quickly admitted as the contractions got even harder. Emily
prefers to enjoy the process so she opted for the epideral. Good thing
we didn't wait b/c Isaac was born in three hours. He would have been
born in less than two without the epederal. Emily did really well
managing her pain and endured a couple huge "ones" before the epideral
set. From that point things went really well. For me it still a lot to
see the birth of our children but each time is very special to see
them born. Our children are so extremely cuteto me. Isaac has been a
very laid back baby not much crying and a quiet breather/sleeper. It
is a miracle watching these little ones come into this life. Thanks
for everyones support and encouragement. A special thanks to David for
watching Ethan and Eliza! We look forward to introducing you to the
newest Culpepper!
