Welcome Mical Allyn Loudermilk!!

Well... I THOUGHT Mical was getting too comfortable on Wednesday after my Dr's appointment but boy was I wrong! I had a great last day at work and was really looking for some Jane time before this sweet baby arrived! I was able to go home relax on the couch, work on some homework and get ready for dinner with a great friend. I headed out to dinner that evening around 6:00 to eat dinner with some good girlfriends. Around 7:00 when we arrived at dinner no more did it take me to get out of the car, my water broke. At first I had NO IDEA what was going on but soon realized it was my water and nothing else.

After getting a hold of Jonathan his and my family, I headed to the hospital straight from the Piggly Wiggly bathroom, which is about is far as I made it after the water broke. Got to the hospital, got checked in and the nurses checked and it was in fact my water that had broken. This is when the nerves and excitement set in. I was about to become a MOM!

It was a LONG night. I was able to get my epidural around 11 or 12:00 that night and that really helped me sleep until my Dr arrived around 7:30. I was dilated able to start pushing around 9:45 and Mical arrived at 10:15.

Mical weighed 8 pounds 1 oz and was 21.5 inches long. He is absolutely perfect in every way. He looks a whole lot like his daddy and after a rough day yesterday of getting feedings and such in order we are now home and settling in nicely.

Thank you so much to everyone's kinds words of love and encouragement. We are so blessed to have such an incredible family and friends. Here are some pictures of our little man! I just picked a few... we have SO many great ones!
