I think to myself; what a wonderful world...
I only have a few minutes before I return to the hospital.
Labor was induced at seven P.M. last night and the baby arrived at seven after five this afternoon.
It is a tale I look forward to sharing.
Eight pounds and one ounce in weight and twenty one inches long.
It was the most amazing experience I've ever participated in.
Thank you all for the well wishes.

Congratulations from Pepper and Mom. He is beautiful. You two did a great job. I hope your wife is doing great. Again heartfelt congrats.
Felicia is doing fine.
I thought the labor would never end and we weren't sure if she had the reserves to push the baby out, but she performed like a champion.
We are both exhausted...
She is glowing.
Congrats! He's beautiful!
Dirk and Felicia: Congratulations!Welcome little one {hugs}
AWESOME! Congratulations!!!
I had a total new respect for women after my boy was born. I will never forget that. We men are total wimps. We are nothing.
So you didn't name the baby George W?
I thought every father wanted his son to grow up to be president! Or did you think a Bauman nation would be an abomination?
Best to all!!!
Congratulations, Dirk and Felicia, and WELCOME! to beautiful Micah. He is absolutely gorgeous!! The gnomes and I are thrilled for you!
YOU thought the labor would never end?!! lol
I checked into your blog 100 times yesterday waiting to hear how everything went. What a BEAUTIFUL baby! I am thrilled for you both! I hope Felicia is resting. All my labors lasted 12 hours so I feel for her. Let her get her rest. Congrats again and thanks for sharing the pic!
Gorgeous wee baby! Congratulations! Blessings,xx
Congrats.
Hope everyone is getting some rest.
The best parts are still to come.
I just found out that my Booger2 is going to be another girl.
She is so sweet. I am so happy that Micah (how do you pronounce) and Felicia are both healthy and fine.
My warmest wishes to you Big Daddy, and Mama Pajama and the sweetest girl you'll ever know.
Long time lurker, first time commenter....
Congratulations on your new baby. Very happy that both mommy and baby are doing well.
How are you holding up?
Good luck. :)
~crazy peanut~
....P.S. Micah is absolutly beautiful.
~cp~
Felicia is in tears trying to breastfeed. Shes in pretty good spirits though and feeling better.
I have more pictures on the way.
Yes, I've changed diapers now.
Yes, I cut the cord.
No I didn't pass out.
Future dads, be there when your baby is born.
You can handle it and it is the most wonderful miracle you will ever experience...
Being there for the first breath, the first sound and the first wet moment of life is the most sacred event you can ever know.
I'm so glad I was a part of birthing process.
Praise The Lord for the safe arrival of Micah into this rather broken world. Congratulations to both of you from your friends in England. With your love and devotion he is assured of a wonderful life ahead him. God has blessed you with His precious gift and our prayers have been answered in full. We look forward to more wonderful pictures in the near future. We wish you peaceful nights and joyful days.
Congratulations, Dirk_Star! All the best!
Congratulations, Dirk and Felicia!!! Micah is beautiful. You are truly blessed!!
(((hugs))) To all of you!!!
Congrats, you have a beautiful baby boy there Dirk. Congrats.
Congratulations, Dirk! Best of wishes to all three of you!!! I've got three of the little munchkins (though mine are big now) and it is an amazing trip you are starting. Enjoy every moment!!
Howdy, little baby. And congratulations.
Baby Micah is soooo cute! Congrats to you and Felicia both. Keep those pics coming.
Congrats :-)
Tell your sweet wife that breastfeeding is a struggle, but it is worth it in the end. I only know one mama who didn't have issues at the beginning, and those breastfeeding start issues eventually disappear.
Check out the La Leche League International help website for some great breastfeeding assistance.
Congratulations!
I'm happy to hear that Mom and baby are doing fine.
Best Wishes to the new Mom and Dad. I know she'll have a wonderful upbringing with the two of you. If only more people such as yourselves would raise kids the right way. Don't worry: some day you'll be able to catch up on sleep.
Congrats to you both on your sweet, sweet baby. You did good!
Congratulations Dirk and Felicia! Micah - a beautiful name for a beautiful soul. All the best x x x
Congratulations to the both of you! I'm glad that both mum and baby are well. He seems to be a healthy little guy with a full set of limbs. Well done!
Congrats to the proud new parents!
Welcome to the world baby Micah! I am sure your life will be filled with love and joy. Congratulations to Mom and Dad - Carmon
Breast feeding is rough at first, tell her to hang in there. It does get better.
Just wait though. It is a weird and strange thing when the little ones wean themselves and mommy gets all teary eyed because the breast feeding has stopped.
Congrats again.

10 hours, that certainly isn't a bad stretch (that's what my labor was, actually, 10 hours), as first children go. Congratulations Dirk & Felicia, and WELCOME TO THE WORLD BABY MICAH!!!!! I hope Mom & Babe are resting peacefully together, and may you all 3 enjoy learning about each other and the world together!

Congratulations to the both of you....and by the way, babies aren't supposed to be that pretty.
OMG! Congrats to you all!
May the lil' one always be blessed & loved.
Awesome!
Takes me back 12 years or so to the birth of my first son...
How the time moves forward...
OH my...you are a daddy.....isn't amazing...how one second they are in mommy's tummy then the next they are out and breathing on their own....welcome little one....and congratulations to you both!!
Congratulations. How exciting. I'd not want to go through that again but a bit of me misses the glow of new-motherhood.
Congratulatons.
