Sorry for the lack of post since the birth, but Micah Wayman is here!
Born October 26, 2010
7 pounds, 14 ounces
20 inches long
His sister, Mackenzie, was also 7 pounds, 14 ounces when she was born, but she was 20.5 inches long. She was also a due date baby, but Micah was born almost 2 full weeks early. If he had waited until his due date he would have been between 8 and a half and 9 pounds, and who knows how long.
The first moment I laid eyes on him I thought he looked just like my dad, so Wayman for the middle name is very appropriate. I won't give too many birth details in this blog because I plan on writing out my birth story and posting it soon, but for those of you that crave information I will tell you that I had a water birth at home with my husband, midwife and midwife backup...the assistant didn't make it until just after the birth. My total labor was 2 hours and 16 minutes from first contraction until I was holding my precious baby boy. My midwife was only there for the last 20 minutes and it all took a total of about 4 pushes. Everyone was happy and healthy. OK, so that is going to have to hold you over until I type out the official birth story.
Here are some pictures. Enjoy!
