Let me tell you something...nothing, and I mean nothing prepares you for a C-Section. Literally watching a doctor reach into your wife's stomach and pull out your son is intense. And no, I didn't pass out...I was fascinated (and I cried; or rather both my eyes were throwing up). The other amazing experience was right after he was born. The little guy was screaming his head off and I walked over to him and gently said, "Hey Micah, it's your dad." Immediately, his eyes opened, looked in my direction, and got very quiet. "I am so stoked to meet you" and he wrapped his tiny little hand around my finger and squeezed. Instant connection; I fiercely love this kid.
I'll continue to post to this blog as my adventures continue. But for now, here are the stats:
Micah Patrick Fanous
Born: May 27, 2015 at 5:47 PM (dude has the same birthday as both of his grandpas)
6 lbs 13 oz, 20 inches
PS The other thing that became abundantly clear was that there is a God. I won't get super religious on you here, but watching my son enter this world just affirmed that there is a higher power and that He plays an active role in our lives.

He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.
And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God.
