We can not believe Little Michael has only been around for 2 weeks, so much has happened. He has filled the diaper Genie about 4 times, had two doctors appointments (one being his circumcision, hopefully he will forgive us one day), had his first bath, went with mom to the dentist, visited with Deacon Kevin and attended his ordination, met Aunt Ginger and Ethel, attended his first horse show with Grandma Patrick and David, and hung out with Grandma and Grandpa Monek while mom and dad had a date night.
The one thing people comment on after how cute he is is how strong he is. He already can hold up his head and he can scoot using his legs and his face which makes it impossible to leave him laying anywhere by himself because he might scoot away.
Make sure and check out our photo album.

6 days
Its been a wonderful last 6 days. We went into the hospital at 5:45 on Wednesday to be induced. Little Michael was born at 3:57 that afternoon. He gave us a little scare because he came out purple and didn't cry right away. It turns out the moment he was born he decided to poop and pee all over the doctor and had managed to aspirate some of it. After some suctioning he was fine and believe me his lungs are working fine.
We stayed in the hospital for 2 days just to get the hang of things. Luckily for us when we went home on Friday Mikes mom came to stay with us. She was great with Little Michael and let mommy and daddy get some sleep.
Its been 6 days of firsts for us and Little Michael. His first bath, first car ride, first story time, first doctors appointment. Its so exciting to see him experience everything for the first time. His favorite thing to do is cuddle. He loves to lay on you and sprawl out with his arms and legs spread out as far as they can go. He is not the type to enjoy being swaddled instead he is a serious bed hog.
My first Mothers Day was perfect. We went to church on Saturday and I have never been prouder. Mike held little Michael and took him up for his first blessing. We also took our first walk that day with little Michael in the stroller. A great husband and a wonderful son, I am one lucky woman!
He is also extremely strong! He can already roll onto his side and practically hold his head up. In short he is absolutely perfect in every way.
Today he also had his first doctors appointment. His birth weight had been 8 pounds 8 ounces but his discharge weight was 7 pounds 14 ounces. So we were very happy to hear that he weighs 8 pounds 2 ounces today. The doctor also said his coloring was perfect and everything looked great. Our next appointment is next Thursday and unfortunately he will also have his circumcision at that appointment.
Sorry this update took so long but its been hard for Mike and I to focus on anything but the new addition to our family.

39 Weeks 5 Days
We had our doctors appointment today and are 3.5 centimeters dilated and 90% effaced. The doctor recommended we go ahead and speed up the process and get induced. We are scheduled to be induced at 6:00 am Wednesday, May 7, 2008. We have known that he could come at any minute but to have a date down where we will definitely get to meet him is a bit overwhelming. Everything is ready for little Michael and he was nice enough to wait until after Bloomsday so Mike could get a good run in. Please keep us in your prayers.

39 Weeks
We had a doctors appointment yesterday and we are currently 3 cm dilated and 90% effaced. Although I would love to go into labor at this exact moment we are hoping he waits until after Bloomsday so Mike doesn't have to miss it.
We have run out of baby projects so we have moved onto house projects, just small ones though. Mike planted some tomatoes a few days ago and we will be having some rock delivered so we can work on our planting beds in the front yard. I would love to redo the kitchen floor but that is going to have to wait until we have some free time which may not be for another 18+ years :)
Thank you to everyone for all of the loving calls and support! We feel very blessed to have so many people excited for Little Michael's birth. I assure you that we will call or text everyone we know as soon as I go into labor.
