Height: 18 1/2 inches
Less than 24 hours ago, my beautiful baby boy was born in this hospital in Decatur, Texas (and this is where we still are, until we are discharged in a couple of hours):
Below: Look at that sweet poochy lip, just minutes after he was born!
My four angels
Yes, he is very small, as you can see by the size of his head and hands compared to ours. He was even classified as a preemie at first, for fear that his lungs were not quite fully developed. However, he is doing very well on his own and will get to go home today!We walked into the hospital about 7:35am yesterday. Less than 5 hours later, I was holding Micah in my arms! It is very typical for me to have my babies very quickly after the induction process is started... so much so that my epidural could hardly keep up! There were tears from Mommy - tears of pain, tears of emotion, but mostly tears of concern when the doctors were pretty sure that Micah had a cord wrapped around him. However, when he was born, the cord was not at all wrapped around him and he was a beautiful, healthy pink!
Oh, I am in love with this new little man in my life! Thank you, Jesus, for this perfect gift from God!

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely precious! Looks like he's dark like your Brianna! :o) What a sweet baby boy. I love all of those pictures, but the ones of him staring at his daddy's hands are just too much! Kind of like he's thinking, "Hey! I have two of those!"

Congratulations! He is a cutie! My daughter was little like that & she was only 1 day early. :) I also enjoy your blog. Have a wonderful day! My son, Luke, will be married tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteJolene,
ReplyDeleteJust want to say how much I love reading your updates you send out and your blog. It is a huge blessing to me personally. Thank you.
I will be praying for you that all will go well. By the way, Dave and I were talking when you first found out it was going to be a boy, and picked the name Micah. So do you think back in the Ukraine those who know English might give him the nick-name " T-shirt "
Have a wonderful month "off" from your updates and blog!
Love,
Gina
