Well this is a terribly belated post but I hope you understand.
Micah Joseph Hawthorne joined our family on March 12, 2008. He was 6 lb. 14 oz and 19.75 in. of pure bliss. Labor was, well, labor, but it wasn’t unbearable. He was born pink and skinny and perfect. And his brother and sisters can’t get enough of him. But neither can we.
Thanks for all your prayers and support during my pregnancy. It’s nice to have my body back to myself (except for the brestfeeding!). I can take a deep breath and rest peacefully again. Whew!
He is quiet and peaceful and sticks to a schedule pretty well. We are settling into a routine that works for us, and just about the time I get used to that he’ll hit a growth spurt and everything will change. But isn’t that what life’s all about? Babies are the very best kind of change. We are truly blessed. I hope to post more pics soon.

















































Anna-Marie,

Congrats, Anna-Marie,
Have SO much fun as this season in life leads you and your family to learn most of all about this new little man in your home.
Congratulations! I’m so excited to actually “see” him. Now I want to come for a visit something fierce.
Congratulations!
what a cutie!
Ooooh! So sweet! Congratulations.
I am so excited for you! And he is simply precious. Wish I could sweep over to give him a nice big hug and kiss…and maybe do some dishes for your and make a meal (so long as you don’t mind crock pot type fare).
Take it easy and enjoy that precious little bundle.

Congratulations! How exciting and he’s a cutie pie
Thanks to all of you for your sweet words.
He is wonderful and we can’t get enough of him.
Dana, a crock pot meal always hits the spot!
Wish you all could come by for some tea and a chat and a cuddle with Micah. He’s very theraputic.
Congratulations! Enjoy that precious little one. May God be with him each and every day of his life, to protect, lead and guide him.
Blessings!

Ohh, my friend, he is beautiful. May the Lord just bless your newest one. May he bring good news to those who need to hear it!!
His Papa will sure have fun. Congrats.
Oooo I am so excited. I am glad he is finally here and that mom and baby are doing fine.
Anna-Marie and Steve, we at the Blackburn Country Haus are very happy for you and your family! Write down what your precious ones say and do for it can be a lot to remember later on, believe me! And, you WILL want to recall those little things for THEY will be interested.
God’s Multiplied Blessings your way from all of us.
