And we’re back….following never-the-same-November…
I am no more than five feet away from a massive crib that is holding my less than massive baby boy. Less than massive, however, does not mean less than stellar.
Just over two weeks ago, following 38 hours (?!?) of labor (I didn’t know it went that long!) Stockton Isaiah came into the world. After a splashdown, screaming, and squirming on his mom’s chest, Stockton scoped Dana and was immediately soothed.
I have soooo much to tell you….but I’m sooo tired…. Here’s some quick hitters before Stockton needs a diaper change.
- I’ve had this conversation no less than 74 times.
o “What a cute baby! What’s his name?”
o “Stockton”
o “Stockton…hmmm…is that a family name?”
o “No actually, it’s the name of my favorite NBA player.”
§ (I tend to leave out everything that John Stockton stood for)
o “Oh…that’s nice.”
- Stockton is named after John Stockton, but “Stockton Isaiah” means something even more awesome than that. “Stockton” = “firm foundation in”; “Isaiah” means “salvation of the Lord”. Put them together and you’ve got “firm foundation in the salvation of the Lord” For comparisons sake, Dana’s name (Dana Marie) means “bitter man from Denmark”
- Stockton does not like having his diaper changed, but doesn’t mind peeing in his own face.
- Stockton likes to sleep ALL day….and ROCK AND ROLL ALLLLL NIIIIIGHT!
- Stockton is a diaper diva – he refuses to reuse an already dirty diaper and instead waits on you to change it to he can use the clean diaper.
- There is nothing like walking into your room and seeing your beautiful sleeping wife holding your beautiful sleeping son. Over like grover….
- Diaper rash cream must be cold...really cold. Stockton puckers his butt every time you put it on him.
I’m out like a soiled wipe…

This is nothing but high-quality, my friend.
Your son is nothing but high-quality.
And you guys as parents? You guessed it... high-quality.
I would just say "yes" when asked if it was a family name...and then tell about your uncle who used to play for the jazz. Whoooeeee!

Stockton is SO INCREDIBLE and i am glad to know him before him and his mom both get to celeb status within government and ministry!
Oh what wonderful brogging. This is a new term coined when new fathers blog and brag at the same time. I loved reading this JB! What a wonderful new family the Lord has given you!

I am loving "brogging".
Stockton is incredible, but the only way I will be a celebrity is as a footnote in an "akers, tony"; "lawsons", "ajas" or "beasley-brown, dana" wikipedia article.
really, i'm just waiting for a political attack ad directed at me when dana runs for office
