He is here...

I know most of you already know this but just in case someone has not read my mom's blog, Stacey's blog, or Nat's blog I had a baby :) Micah was very punctual and born on his due date. We went to the hospital about 1:00pm and he was born at 6:48pm weighing in at a whopping 9lbs 2ozs and 20 inches long. His name is Micah (after Matthew's brother) Charles (after my dad). It is a very special name to us and I love it. In case you are wondering no I can not believe how big he was. After I had him everyone kept saying "he is so big" and he was. My doctor I think was in shock. Anyway all the grandparents are gone now. My mom was here for a week before and a week after and Matthew's mom was here the week after also. They were so much help and I truly appreciate everything they did for me. The girls both love him so much. Katy at first was kind of apprehensive of him when he was crying but now could care less. Vail is needing a little more attention and has been acting out a bit. Hopefully in the next few months things will settle down a bit. (Right?) Today I successfully fed them all lunch (and myself),played with them, and put them down for a nap all by myself. Matthew is taking his mom to the airport. Just wanted to let you all know I am alive and surviving. Enjoy some pictures of our little dude.

oh yeah, and vail will be fine. it just takes time. it's such an adjustment for them at that age. it probably won't take as long as you think though. remember it's all still very new to her. :)
love you, and so glad you seem to be adjusting so well!

He is so cute Jennifer and I think he has a great name.
I love Katy's pigtails. Maybe if I show Mabry her photo she will finally get that pigtails are totally adorable and will sit still long enough to let me put some in her hair too.
I agree with Stacey, your hair is really long. I love it! (*Jealous*)
Love all the photos.

By the way fixing lunch for all of you, playing with everyone and then getting them down for a nap...you have to teach me your super hero ways. I have just one and most days don't even attempt to get out of my PJs until she is in bed for a nap. I can't seem to get it together.
