Micah Patrick Rice

You all know, but I had to make it official on the blog.

Micah Patrick Rice was born September 14th at 4:53 am, 6lbs 13oz, and 20.5".

Giving birth to a new life is an amazing experience. One word to describe this particular experience is long. Labor was about 34 hours. When we checked into the hospital at noon on Monday, being 4cm dilated I did not expect it to be another 17 hours before Micah was born. When he did arrive, it was so great to touch him, hold him and see him. It was hard to believe at first that he is our son. He has been such a joy to have here.

Now get ready for lots and lots of posts with pictures of him.
