Welcome Matthew!
Matthew was born yesterday afternoon at 3:27pm weighing a whopping 8lbs 12ozs and 20.75" long. He is happy, healthy, and the whole family is doing great!
Our journey to grow our family by one started yesterday at 6:15am when we arrived to the hospital. While Brian, Morgan, and Peppy were treating Morgan to a special big sister breakfast, I was getting hooked up to monitors, IV, and Pitocin. By 7:30, things were ready to go and I was having regular contractions. Things moved VERY slowly at first. I went in at 2cm and by 2:15, many painful contractions, and an epidural, I was only 4cm. That quickly changed just a little after 3 when I started to shiver, feel a lot of pressure, and just weird. The nurse came in and Matthew was on his way out. They quickly paged to the doctor to come ASAP, and even though it only took a few minutes, it felt like an eternity while we waited. After a few pushes and two contractions, Matthew joined the world. Thankfully, he was happy and healthy. Because Morgan was whisked to the NICU when she was first born, it was a huge relief for Brian and I when he was able to stay with us and we were immediately able to hold him.
So far things are going well. It will definitely take some time to get used to having a newborn again. I guess I don't remember all of the sounds newborns make. Between his noises and the nurses coming in all night long, we definitely didn't get a lot of sleep. However, we aren't complaining. Matthew is doing well, I am recovering quickly, Brian is a awesome dad, and Morgan is a proud BIG sister. We look forward to live with our new family.

Lots of Walking
The doctor suggested lots of walking to help get things ('labor') moving. Thankfully, the weather here has been beautiful which has made the task easier. Unfoturtunately, the only thing I have to show for all of the walking are sore hips!
We kept busy this weekend by going to the park, walking the mall, and getting maternity shots taken with Morgan. It turned out to be a great weekend, but I really am looking forward to having this baby (as you can see from the time of post, it isn't like I am sleeping anyway!)

Am I There Yet....
....almost??? Matthew's due date is right around the corner. The last couple weeks have been filled with lots of waiting. We have accomplished pretty much everything on our to-do list so now we are just waiting!
Thankfully we have been keeping busy so time has gone by quickly. Work has been very busy as I am trying to wrap things up before I leave for three months.
This past weekend the King family joined us for the weekend. We had a great time at the aquarium (Jackson came too!), park, and just hanging out. Morgan adores Peyton and Grayson so she had a blast!

Morgan's First Haircut
After
Yesterday Morgan had her first haircut - Brian finally agreed with me that it needed a trim! We decided to try cutting it ourselves. Morgan has curly hair so it doesn't have to be perfectly straight-althought I think Brian and I did a great job. Morgan also did great - although getting a two year old to sit still is near impossible!
