He looks just like D! In fact it's hard to find any features distinct from his brothers at this point.

He is different in his "behavior" though. He would much rather sleep than eat. Daniel HAD to eat every 2 hours from start time to start time day or night or he would flip out. AND it would take him 45 mins to eat. Micah eats for maybe 20 minutes and will go anywhere between 2 and 3 1/2 hrs. I am liking this MUCH better!

Micah loves to be completely cuddled by blankets and mommy and hates to be cold/exposed to air. Diaper changes are at the top of his hate list.  Daniel didn't care either way. He was always so hot he almost preferred to be naked.


MEETING HIS BROTHER FOR THE FIRST TIME!
He was very disinterested and preferred to run around the hospital room. After meeting Micah we shipped D up to PA to stay with Grandma and Papa Ermold for the week. It was nice so we could have a little adjustment period and I could heal a little from my c-section before he wants to climb all over me. He comes home tomorrow though and I am super excited to see him! He is in for a big surprise when he gets home and that baby is still here!


My recovery has gone soooo much better than it did after having Daniel. It definitely helped to not go through 2 failed inductions before the c-section! And the fact that we now have a bathroom on our level and I don't have to go up and down stairs several times a day has been a blessing as well.

Davey has been waiting on me hand and foot. He is just wonderful! I have done nothing but sit on the couch (which is also where I've been sleeping because it's easier sitting up than laying down), hold our new little miracle, feed him, and watch lots of HGTV, Food Network and TLC. #thelife
