Welcome Michaela Kate!

Becky, Felicity and I are very excited to announce our special arrival, Michaela Kate Post! (pronounced Makayla). Click here or on the photo for more photos.

She was born on Thursday, March 13 at 7:39PM and weighed in at 8-lbs 2-oz, and was 19-in long. She is healthy and beautiful! Becky is doing well also. She looks more than a little bit like her big sister! Felicity was at the hospital when she was born and got to see her that night. She took to her new sister right away, and is just thrilled have her around. I think she would have held her all night if we let her. She loves holding her and trying to give her binky (pacifier) to her. She doesn’t seem too bothered by her crying either which is good.

Michaela Kate Newborn We came home from the hospital Saturday night and are adjusting to the new routines with the help of Grandma Ellis who will be with us for the rest of the week. We’re bleary-eyed and exhausted most of the time but we are so thrilled and blessed to have her in our family.

Mr. Incredible Calling

incredibles_wideweb__430x268

Felicity has really been into The Incredibles lately. It’s replaced princess movies as her movie obsession du jour. Today when Becky was on the phone with her friend Beth she had her little toy cell phone and she started talking "Hi Mr. Incredible…Mommy, It’s Mr. Incredible, he wants to talk to you."

Then tonight Becky and I were arguing with her about getting ready for bed. We started raising our voices a little because she wasn’t listening, and she raised her voice right back and shouted back "This is not about you!", a line from the movie when Bob and Helen (Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl) are arguing at home. Classic! It was one of those times where you just try not to laugh because you don’t want her to know she got a reaction.

P.S. No news on the baby front. Looks like we’ll be going to that scheduled induction on Thursday AM.

Video Friday: Due Date Edition…Still Waiting

Yep, today is baby post’s due date but we’re still waiting for our world to change! The good news is that we know we have less than a week to wait. We have a scheduled induction for next Thursday the 13th should baby decide not to come out on his/her own! Becky is hanging in there, pretty uncomfortable and starting to get a little cold or allergies or something. We’ll keep everyone posted if anything develops.

4 Days and Counting

Well, we are now down to 4 days to our due date, but like everybody knows most babies don’t come on that date anyway.  So, I guess you could say that we have anywhere from hours to another couple of weeks before this baby decides to make its grand entrance into this world.  As promised, here’s my latest picture at 39 weeks.  Do I look ready or what?!?!IMG_5552
