wow, it's been long!!

Well, our apologies to anyone who followed the link from our Christmas Card/Baby Announcement and came to find the most recent post two weeks before Micah even arrived!! Silly Mommy thought she updated it sooner...
(side note: in an effort not to confuse our son with too many pronouns, we refer to everyone including ourselves by their name to him. like Bob Dole used to do. ;)

So, the quick update: Micah was born November 2, 2007, three days before his due date, by c-section, since he was still breech. He screamed extremely loud in the delivery room, so no one had to tell Nicole that he had arrived!! I think he scored a 9 or 10 on his Apgars (very good, very lively, healthy baby.) He was 6 lbs. 7 oz at birth, and 5 lbs 11 oz when we left the hospital (totally normal weight loss).

Mommy, Daddy and Micah stayed in the hospital until Monday midafternoon. Momalla (Andy's mom), Papa Jon and Bret (stepdad and stepbrother) came to visit Friday night when Micah had been with us just a few hours!! They visited again on Saturday too. Amy and James N came to visit on Saturday.
