Okay, Now I'm an Aunt!!!!

What a night!!

Here is my story about Micah Thomas Johnson.

I got my first text yesterday morning from Rebekah, very early. She said her contractions were about 10 minutes apart and she was going to see how it went. She called a few hours later and said she was in labor for sure. How exciting!

Ruthann got to her place and they took a walk and such, trying to get things going. Her contractions got stronger throughout the day. They went to the hospital late afternoon and things started getting serious.


Thankfully Ruthann was on the phone with me and my Mom ( who was driving as fast as she could to get to Denver from DeWitt, she made it an hour after Micah was born. ) She was able to keep us filled in since Rebekah was in no condition to talk.:)

A bit later Ruthann called and said she was going to put us on speaker phone because Rebekah was starting to push. It was awesome to hear.... well, sort of. It was extremely difficult to hear my little sister in pain, but she did great.(Even without an epidural!) She only pushed for 20 minutes or so and I could hear the excitement!

I finally heard the word "boy" and couldn't believe it. It was so awesome. Then I started crying when I heard Micah make those precious baby cries. So sweet.

Mom and baby are doing great.

He weighed 7 pound 4 ounces, he has a lot of strawberry-blonde hair. I think he looks a lot like a Hamby baby. We'll see though.

That's about all I know right now. I am dying of jealousy that my Mom and Ruthann get to be there for it all. I get to meet him next month.

Oh yeah, Ruthann got to receive Micah and put him on Rebekah's chest. How awesome is that?

So yeah, I'm super excited and am so happy for the Johnson's.

I'm sure more pictures will be coming shortly.
