Welcome to the world little one!
Isaac Keller Whitman was born at 2:22am on Tuesday September 9, 2008.
Weight is under debate - scale said 8#9oz, but later that day he was 7#5oz, so we're guessing a birth weight somewhere in the high 7's. Guess we'll never know!
Height - 20 1/2 inches
Labor and delivery went really well - got to the hospital around 10:45, spent some time in the tub, then got out, pushed for just under an hour and out came Isaac! No pain meds, but plenty of Ibuprofen now! Just waiting for the sore bottom and explosive boobs to calm down....
We've been home for 2 days now. Seems like Isaac is the easy one, keeping up with an active 2 year old is the tough part! Carter doesn't seem to pay much attention to Isaac, but has been very helpful in fetching diapers and wipes for his little brother.
We'll try to post a new photo and story every week, so check back in and leave some comments!
Also - check out some photos at http://www.briannagraham.com/darkroom/share/?whitman
These were photos of Carter that we had taken earlier this summer. They will only be available for viewing for the next few days, so check them out!!
Thanks to all for all the support and food!

Congratulations! Isaac looks like a cutie! I can't wait to meet him, face to spit up. Sorry about the weight confusion. At least he's a boy and won't likely be too upset about the confusion (although a girl might be happy that she lost 15% of her wait in less than a day!).
Wow! Those photos of Carter are awesome! (To bad his daddy had to be in some of the pictures...and who is the girl at the end of the album...did you have another child?) Those are great pictures, just like the last time you had them done.
OMG what a cutie!! and the pics of you, carter and the hubby were really nice! hope all is well hope to hear from you again soon Take Care:)

A big welcome to Isaac and hugs to the whole family! So glad to hear that labor and delivery went well -- Susan you're a pro. Not to mention you included a visit to the vet AND friend's wedding within days of delivery. Holy mackerel. Can't wait to meet Isaac...Did you meet my 6-yr-old cousin Isaac this summer? He's energetic and wicked smart. Love the name!
Congrats! Love the blog and family photos. Can't wait to meet the little man.
Sending lots of love,

Isaac is perfect! So sweet. All the best for a few days of quiet to welcome him into the world. When Eli was born, I would think, "Don't leave me alone with the baby!" And then with Adah I was saying, "Please just leave me alone with the baby!"
