Micah Henry

5 weeks later, Ive decided to post about our newest addition.  We did move to New Mexico 4 weeks after he was born, so Ive got a pretty good excuse.  The last month has been full of packing, cleaning, goodbyes, parties, moving, unpacking, organizing, cleaning, and parties! It really has been smooth and everyone has transitioned ok so far.  Micah is a champ of a baby, so here is his quick story-

Micah was born via C section on May 30, 2012.  My stomach was LARGE, so we knew he was going to be a big baby.  My doctor estimated 8 pounds 9 ounces, but that kiddo was 9 pounds 4 ounces! As soon as he was out of my tummy, everyone in the operating room said WHOOAAA! :) He was healthy though, so no complaints here!  The C section was smooth, except for a lot of pain when they started the patossin to shrink my uterus.  But, I loved my anesthesiologist, and I absolutely adored my nurses, Emily and Michelle. The hospital stay was great, I always love the alone time at night with my new baby.  My parents came in from Florida and stayed for over a week, which was AWESOME! They took the older brothers to Sea World, the zoo, parks, Locomotion, anything to keep them entertained!  It almost made transitioning to 3 kids too easy! Nathans parents also drove all the way to and from Austin in one day just to meet little Micah!  It was so fun to have everyone there, loving on our 3 kids.

Micah eats good, sleeps good, and poops good- I dont know what else I could ask for from a baby!  He is getting bigger by the day, but really doesnt demand food too much.  He has started to stay awake for longer periods of time, and I'll be happy when he is entertained by his silly brothers! He has made the move to Albq easy and is still sleeping in the bassinet next to me. I love this kiddo and cant wait to watch him grow!

Aunt Wibby's Wedding

The past 2 weeks have been extremely eventful for us, and a big part of that was Aunt Wibbys wedding!  Libby married Adam Claycomb, a fantastic guy that she met in Oklahoma!  We are so excited that he is part of the family, my boys really adore him.  Adam and Libby got married in Denton and had a beautiful wedding and reception.  The boys were ring bearers and they did a fantastic job!  They looked so handsome in their tuxes.  My parents came in from Florida to help with the busy weekend.  It was a fun time had by all, and a BEAUTIFUL bride for a beautiful wedding.  Here are a few pics of the event-

Happy 2nd, Caleb!

My sweet little boy just turned 2, and I cant believe it! Caleb is such a blessing to our family and a joy to be around!  He is independent and does EVERYTHING his brother does.  Sometimes it just sounds like Owen has an echo in the room.  Caleb loves all things boy- trains, cars, superman, elmo. He is stubborn and strong but also sweet and cuddly.  He is so so precious!

This year he got sick on his scheduled birthday party, so we ended up doing a quick birthday with both sets of grandparents while everyone was together.  He got to eat a slice of cookie monster cake and had lots of elmo decorations!  He got tons of new toys and was loved on like crazy.  Happy Birthday, sweet Caleb.  I cant believe youre 2 years old already!

Recent Convos

I keep forgetting to post conversations with the boys, and I'm starting to forget them.  Heres a recent one between Nathan and Owen-
O- How does the doctor get the baby out of mommys tummy?
(I am having a C section)
N- Um, with his hands.
O- How?
N- He pulls him out with his hands.
O- How?
N- Ummmmm.
O- Out of her belly button?
N- Yea, kinda. He's going to pull him out under his shoulders.
O- Like this? *putting his hands under his armpits*
N- Yup, just like that.
O- Hmm.

(  He continues to ask every couple of days :)  )

And here was a bathtub conversation last night with the boys, they always just talk and laugh and act crazy in the bath-
O- I love you daddy!!!!
N- I love you too, Owen.
O- I love you mommy!!!!
M- I love you too, Owen.
C- I like you, Cawub!
N/M- ummm. lol.

Easter in Argyle

Libby, Nathan's sister, is going to be a beautiful bride in about a month!  On Easter weekend, we headed to Argyle for a fun shower that her family threw for her.  It was a wine shower, and they got lots of wine, wine accessories, and goodies.  It was a very quick trip for us, but we took advantage of the time and got the boys fitted for their tuxes- theyre going to be ring bearers in the wedding!  Hopefully they will behave.. :) I'll be 9 full months pregnant at the wedding, so it should be an adventure!  The boys are excited about being in the wedding and its going to be gorgeous.  May 26th to May 30th is going to be a busy time for the Sherman family- Lib is getting married and baby Micah will be arriving!  Here are the boys in their adorable tux jackets and some more pics of the family

St Patricks Day and Arkansas

After our trip to Florida, the boys and I came home to unpack, get packed again, and got in the car to head to Nana and Pop's house.  Nathan and I were traveling to Arkansas for a potential job, and the boys were staying with Nana and Pop for a few days.  They had a wonderful time and got lots of loving!  They got to see their new cousin, Emma, and Nana had lots of fun adventures planned for them!  No, we arent moving to Arkansas, though we had a nice visit and enjoyed a lovely church.  It was a nice weekend with just Nathan to reflect on how wonderful our last 2 years in Austin have been!  Here is some evidence of all the fun the boys had-

 

Aunt Libby!

I'm glad I accidentally packed green shirts for the boys!

 

Kisses for Emma!

Nana and Pop took the boys to ride on a REAL train!

Florida Fun

My college roommate, Sarah, got married a few months ago, so the boys and I packed up and headed to Florida.  My bestie, Kelli, came with too, which was a tremendous help with the boys!  Though I politely declined to be in the wedding since I am massively with child, it was a gorgeous wedding and a great time with family.  Owen and Caleb got spoiled rotten by grandma and grandpa, I got some time to myself, and we did lots of fun things with the fam. The boys got to visit the beach, lots of parks, and the zoo.  Here are a few pics from the fun long weekend!

 

Feeding the giraffes, always a favorite!

Love from Aunt Sissy!
