Redeeming Chayim Natan Yisrael

Weird ceremony...Pidyon HaBen

Welcome To The Tribe

Introducing......

Chayim Natan Yisrael

A BIG name for a little man. The Bris was a very emotional day for me, we initiated our baby boy into the tribe and gave him his name. While I was pregnant my maternal grandfather passed away and we had discussed that if the baby was a boy then we would most likely name him after my grandfather, Chayim Yisrael. After the baby was born we knew this would be his name. There is an idea that parents get ruach hakodesh (divine inspiration) in deciding the name of their child, we really saw this because the day before the bris both Y and I had the idea separately to also give our son one of Y's paternal grandfather's names, he was Natan Alter, so we chose the Natan. And there we have it, Chayim Natan Yisrael, Israel gives life or we give life to Israel!!!

Mazal Tov!

Happy Birthday

The Birth Question

The Birth Question

The countdown

Tomorrow is our EDD (estimated due date), for the most part everything is ready for baby to arrive. I thought maybe I was having contractions a few days ago but well we are still here together as one unit. I keep asking baby when s/he is going to come out and meet us, but well no answer yet. Just waiting...

I am trying to take this waiting time and get more things done around the house that need to get done. B"H my mom is here and has really been helping me a lot. Thank you MOM!!!!

My belly is definitely getting lower so baby must be on the way, just don't know if it will be a day or two now or a week or two, I am hoping for the earlier option. My midsection is getting increasingly uncomfortable, but as everyone keeps telling me it is all worth it! I cannot wait to find out! All I can do now is wait...
