Our Little Miracle has finally arrived!!!!

For all of you who have been waiting as impatiently as we have - Isaac is finally here!!




Isaac Ellis Sandler was born on Sunday, Sept. 10th at 1:21am after 15 hrs. of labor and 3 hrs. of pushing (mind you!). He weighed 8lbs. 6 oz. and was 21 in. long. He is doing wonderfully now, as is mom, although, it was a bit of a rough beginning for both of us.

For those of you who might wonder - Isaac means "Laughter" and Ellis means "God is my Salvation" with the connotation "God is Faithful". Ellis is also Ben's grandfather's name. So, truly our joy is complete in this little one as God gave him to us and he is and will bring us such joy!

Here is a link to see lots more photos of Isaac!!

We are sooooo happy just to hold him in our arms and watch the little faces he makes. This is truly the most amazing thing in the world!

Just a few more details, since it is a bit of a saga... due to our long ordeal, Isaac ended up with a bit of jaundice and had to be kept under the "blue light" to help get rid of it. I had a very rough go with the entire labor and ended up having a retained placenta and therefore, lost a lot of blood. So the two of us were in a little rough shape at the beginning and we had to suplement my nursing with formula for a few days. We are now all good and Isaac has already gained back to his birth weight and then some!

Much more to come...

    What a beautiful Grandbaby we have! Grateful for the strength and devotion the Lord gave Ellie to care for herself and Isaac in pregnancy and now he is here.

    naturally like your web site however you need to check the spelling on quite a few
    of your posts. Several of them are rife with spelling problems and I in finding it very bothersome to
    tell the truth on the other hand I will surely come again again.

    When I originally commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added" checkbox and now
    each time a comment is added I get four e-mails with the same
    comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service?
    Thanks a lot!

    Does your blog have a contact page? I'm having a tough time locating it but, I'd like to shoot you an e-mail.
    I've got some recommendations for your blog you might be interested in hearing. Either way, great site and I look forward to seeing it grow over time.

    Everything posted was very logical. However, think on this, suppose you composed a catchier post title?
    I ain't saying your information isn't good,
    however suppose you added a post title to possibly get a person's attention? I mean "Our Little Miracle has finally arrived!!!!" is kinda boring. You might peek at Yahoo's front page and watch
    how they create article headlines to get people to open the links.

    You might try adding a video or a pic or two to grab
    people excited about what you've got to say. Just my opinion, it would bring your blog a little livelier.

    to be on the internet the easiest thing to be mindful of.

    Will likely be back to get more. Thanks

    Hi there would you mind sharing which blog platform you're using? I'm going to start
    my own blog in the near future but I'm having a difficult time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for
    something unique. P.S My apologies for
    being off-topic but I had to ask!

    I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own blog and was wondering what all is required to get set up? I'm
    assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?

    I'm not very internet savvy so I'm not 100% sure.
    Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you
