Israel

Let me introduce to you, Israel Paul Paurus. Born on January 30th at 5:18 p.m. after about 10 hours of labor. He was 8 lbs 10 oz and 21.5 inches long. We successfully had a natural birth and our sweet Izzy was born in a birth pool. He has a lovely full head of blonde hair and itty bitty dimples hiding in those chubby cheeks. We are in love. We are overjoyed. We can't believe he's finally here! Here's a few random pics from our first week with our little guy.

 Most of our week has been spent lounging around with our son, soaking it all in. I find myself just staring at him in disbelief and awe.

He was very serious for his first bath. He's not a big fan of the cool air touching his skin and makes sure to let us know about it every time. 

I plan on sharing a little more about his birth and also the reason we picked his name in a future post. And, I'm sure I'll have plenty more pictures of this photogenic guy.
