Short story: Micaiah Daniel is here, he’s awesome, and Joy and I are thrilled!
Medium story: Born May 30, 7:46 AM. 8 pounds, 5 ounces. 21.5 inches.
Longer story: The c-section went well and Joy is recovering pretty well considering. Cai is way more mellow than Charis was (at least so far). Charis came to the hospital and was the first family member to meet the new baby. She was a little tentative at first, but quickly warmed up to him, eventually becoming very concerned whenever Cai’s little hat would start to slip off even the tiniest bit.
You still want more? Go here for more pictures.
Why it took me so long to post this: With Charis the hospital had just remodeled and their public internet access was not working yet. This time, two years later, I had digital cameras, memory cards, memory card reader, cables, and a laptop with wi-fi and a fully charged battery all ready to go. I thought I had everything set. Only one problem: I could connect to the hospital’s access point, but access was “local only” according to Vista - no internet access and no DNS server supplied by DHCP. I asked around and no one had a clue what the deal was, but I didn’t see anyone else successfully connected online either, so I don’t think it was just me.
Hooray, he’s here! Thanks for loading all the pictures last night, Brad. I know it’s been a long day. :) We miss you, and it’s killing me there are no pictures of us holding him yet! Give him (and Charis) some extra love from Auntie Bees and Uncle Ox, please!! :) And please tell Joy we love her and we’re praying for you guys! One month til we get to cuddle that sweet little face!

Hey man, congrats!!! He’s got the same birthday as me! That’s a very good sign. He’ll probably be brilliant and dashingly handsome too.
