Our dear friends, Allison & Chad become parents on August 1st. At just 34 weeks, this little guy decided to come early, weighing in at 5lbs 3oz and 18in long and looking gorgeous!

It has been an exciting and busy weekend for us. It started on Wednesday afternoon when Allison was admitted to Labor & Delivery since baby Isaac wasn’t really moving around much in the womb. Thankfully, his momma knew something was wrong and headed to the doctors.  The Docs decided it was best for Issac to enter this world now then to take any chances.

The crazy thing was that Ally’s baby shower was supposed to be on Saturday, August 2. All our girlfriends and her family were coming into town to celebrate for her shower….INSTEAD we were celebrating Isaac’s birth! So what did we do….we still had the shower!!! Her DEAR friend Lanier set up a web cam from Ally’s hospital room and Ally was able to join us at HER SHOWER via web cam!!!  I’m sure all the guests have never been to a shower like that before. Thanks Lanier for making everyone feel so welcome at the shower. You are a rockin’ hostess!

Lanier actually did these posters before she knew Ally wouldn’t be able to attend her own shower. They were the perfect touch.

The favors were a 3D sonogram of Isaac!

Everyone still had a blast at the shower.

Then afterwards, a few of her close girlfriends took the shower to her at the hospital. I’m sure the nurses thought we were crazy. We busted through the hospital doors with TONS of gifts, cake, food, flowers and large posters of Allison. It wasn’t what Allison (or any of us) were planning for her shower day, but when life throws you a lemon….don’t they say make lemonade. We actually had a blast celebrating with her at the hospital. I know she was exhausted and in pain, but she was a trooper (as always) and partied away in her little hospital bed.

Please pray that Isaac will not have to stay in the NICU for long. He only had to be on a breathing tube for one day! He was a big baby for 34 weeks, but his little lungs were a little underdeveloped for his age. He seems to be going strong and looking like a perfect angel. Enjoy some of his first (of many) photos. (I couldn’t use flash in the NICU and he was in his little incubator so this is the best I could get.)

oh man! This brought tears to my eyes and I don’t even know these people! So sweet! :-)

Yay! You posted pictures! Thank you! And thank you for the call. (Love the breast pump on her lap. hehe!)

I love them all. Great job Julie! I think you guys are so awesome to rally around them and lavish them with gifts and love. He is positively gorgeous, just perfect in every way. I am soooo glad to hear how strong and well he is adjusting to the big bad world. Just a praise. Alison looks magnificent! I just can’t wait to see pictures of the three of them together. The one with Chad is AWESOME…so proud of his boy.

Thank you for posting a link to this on Allison’s site. I was dying for pictures! You guys are AWESOME friends to take the shower to her; I bet that lifted her spirits so much.
Thanks again!

What a sweet and precious little guy he is. I’m sorry to hear that it was so scary for them as he entered into the world but God has shown His wonderful glory through this. I’ll be praying for them. Oh, and the pics are gorgeous.

I came to see Issaac thank you so much for the pictures. I have checked daily for an update on Alison’s blog. I’m one of her blog stalkers, she has no clue who I am but I have followed her journey and I’ve been worried about the little guy. Thank you for the update and pictures. What is it with you DCers? Do you all take wonderful pictures or what? You must have a great camera they are all so clear and perfect!

What great friends she has in all of you to throw her such a great baby shower! That cake was beautiful!
