Micah's Introduction

Hello world!  I can't wait to meet everyone.  Today marks an important day in my arrival.  If I am on time I'll get to meet all my family and friends in 99 days!  It's been a quick journey for me since I was conceived around August 14, 2010.  I have been growing up a storm and already causing Momma and Daddy to worry.  Guess I have to keep them on their toes.  But all is well with me as I prepare to enter the world!

September 2 Momma finally realized the symptoms she had been having might be from me.  She thought it was a long shot but knew something was up.  The next day I made her and Dad the happiest people in the world when I caused a test to say yes. 

See, that "Yes+" is because of me!
I've been growing up a storm, as you can see in the pictures below!  Momma went to the doctor Monday and I weighed in at 1 lb. 14 oz.  I'm in the 56th percentile for my gestational age (GA).  Right now I'm still working on growing taller so one day I can be taller than Daddy, but I'm also putting on some fat to keep me warm once I arrive.  I wonder how big I'll be.

That's me at 10 weeks GA.  You can see my tiny little foot!
And at 18 weeks GA.  Look how much I've grown!


Momma and Daddy tried to see my face but I got shy.
Before I decided to be shy I let Momma and Daddy know I am all boy! And check out how big my foot has gotten in just 8 weeks!



I'm making Momma grow too.  This is Momma at 12 weeks.
Almost 18 weeks!

21 weeks!
25 weeks and I'm making Momma huge! (She loves every minute of it though)



















Mom and Dad have been getting ready for my arrival.  Don't tell them but I will be one spoiled little boy!  After ten years of them trying for me I bet I will have them wrapped around my little finger in no time.  Check out my new room!  About the only thing missing is me!  Daddy and Momma have really been busy!
Daddy painted a room blue just for me!
Daddy put a cool tree in my room.
And put together my awesome crib!

Last night he hung things on my wall.


Here are a few of my things.  I've got my own Bible!
I even have my own growth chart!



Mommy and I are sure to spend lots of time here.

Mommy got the cool cross in the middle as a door prize at Bunko.  It matched the stuff she painted for my room perfectly!


A Blog for Micah

Since The Dean Chronicles is dedicated to blogging about anything and everything I might think about I decided to create a blog dedicated especially to Micah.  Some of the blogs in the future may reflect the same content as is blogged about in The Dean Chronicles, but this blog will not contain anything not related to Micah.  This blog will follow the journey we have of "Growing up Micah."  I hope you enjoy seeing our little man grow as much as we do.  I haven't decided if I will blog as if it were Micah talking or not.  Right now I'm thinking that might be kind of fun since this blog will be dedicated to him.  Growing up Micah can go either way.  It could be us discussing raising him or him growing up as Micah.  It may be a combination of the two.  Either way, stay tuned for updates!
