Michael John......



Well, here are some pictures of the first couple of days with Michael John. Things are going well. Natalie is adjusting well for now, James has been home so we'll see how it goes when he goes back to work. I'm recovering very well, it was a quick labor of only 4 1/2 hours, the midwife that we used was amazing and James was an incredible coach, I would not have been able to do it without him. Natalie is LOVING daddy right now, she wants to be with him all the time and has spent the last 2 days outside with him, going to the park and on "bowks", her word for walks. She's semi-interested in Michael and will give him kisses and hugs but otherwise she just goes about her business playing. Michael is so sweet, such a precious gift. He seems to be pretty laid back and alert at the same time. It just melts my heart to watch all his sweet baby movements and listen to his cute sounds. Ahhhh, such a blessing. We've had a couple of people ask if we are going to shorten Michael's name to anything else, we are not going to. We're going to call him Michael. :) Here are some pictures for you.
