I can finally write that Baby Hickok has arrived and it feels so good! Baby Hickok's name is Noah Johnathan Hickok and he arrived on Tuesday, August 19th at 7:45pm. After a long day at the hospital the doctor made the decision to do a c-section. Noah did not want to come out. So at 7:00 pm they wheeled me into the operating room and prepped me for the big arrival. I must say I was really scared but I couldn't have asked for better doctors. They were amazing and put my fears to rest. John was able to hold my hand through the whole process and assure me that everything was going to be fine. The anesthesiologist was great. He was like the commentator through the entire surgery. He let me know what the doctors were doing at all times. My mind was at ease when I heard Noah let out a scream for the first time. When they held him in front of my face it was the most amazing experience. Wow, what a miracle!
The doctors couldn't get over his size and John and I were pretty amazed too. Noah weighed in at 10lbs and 2 oz. He is kinda short like us measuring in at 19 1/2 inches long. The doctors and nurses are really surprised by the amount of hair he was born with. It is jet black and looks as though he already could use a haircut.
So far so good with his eating. That doesn't surprise me though because I fed him pretty good when he was in the womb. He eats every four hours and sleeps in between. I am hoping we continue with this pattern.
Toby and Finn are doing good. Finn was thrilled when we brought him home. I think he was more excited to see the baby than he was to see me.
I will be posting some pictures soon. Thank you for all of your prayers. This has been some week.

Hi Michelle, John and WELCOME to Noah, what a beautiful name. Can't wait to see his photos. That is a good size baby, maybe he will sleep thru the night for you. LOL

Hi Michelle, how exciting that you have your little miracle home with you! Sounds like things are going well so far! I have a dinner in the fridge for you, if you don't need it for Monday night, then I can put it in the freezer. I can bring it tomorrow morning or later this week (like Wed or Thursday). Let me know, either way works for me. Can't wait to get my hands on the little guy! Saw a pic your mom-in-law sent and I could see the hair pouring out of his hat! Write to me on Face book and let me know, Sarah Fischer
Congratulations! I am so happy to hear everything is going well! That's awesome that he is going 4 hours between feedings- usually it is more like 2-3. He's probably hoping for some ice cream.
Take care and enjoy your time with your family!
