4 weeks

It's gotten warm this week, so now you get to see his cute little legs!  How fast a month goes... We're doing well, still figuring each other out and learning.  This really is a hard job and definitely works on one's problem-solving skills.  Ah, but such sweet moments when Micah looks up at me and seems to really be looking at me, hearing his little yawn and having him cuddle into my shoulder.  Cherishing those moments...praying for wisdom during the not so quiet ones.

Micah 1 week

We're one week in and things are going relatively smoothly.  A routine is coming and we've been blessed to have help from Mom and Dad Kilby and Mom Van Drunen.

I'm starting to feel somewhat back to normal.  It's crazy how life changes and now we describe 3 hours of sleep at a time as a "good chunk" :) Micah has been sleeping well at night and seems like a pretty chill personality.  He is also cuter by the day and makes the funniest faces- raising one eyebrow at us while we're talking to him trying to wake him up, gets his tongue going or purses his lips.

Micah Tobias

Micah was born April 4, 2012 at 10:56 pm.  8 lbs, 14 oz and 21 in long.
Micah means "one who is like God" and this our prayer for him- that he would grow in the grace and knowledge of God and by God's grace we will direct him towards God in all things.  Tobias means "God is good."  John and I have learned this attribute of God even more in the last year, and with the arrival of Micah we praise God for His goodness.  Micah is healthy and it was a safe delivery without complications.

happily trucking along

3 weeks to go (more of less depending on baby) and we're rolling right along.  We've been so blessed by the generosity of so many friends and family members. 


All tests are going smoothly and Baby seems to be a happy little thing as he/she kicks all around. I'm feeling well and although I'm looking forward to meeting this little one, I'm ok with him/her not showing up just yet.  

A couple photos to share.  My cousin's wife, Janet made this cute motorcycle out of diapers and other baby supplies and the other picture are two blankets my Great-Grandmother crocheted.
