Updates and Introducing...

Yep, it's been a while, I know! Being pregnant and chasing Abigail left little time for blogging. So, here's some updating. Abigail is growing like weed and is SO freaking smart! She amazes us everyday with the words she uses and the things she can do. She'll be two on Sunday! Where does the time go?!

Daddy and Sherry moved in with us in September. The adjustment was hard on Abigail, but she loves having grandma and grandpa around all the time...and they certainly are a help to mom and dad, too!

And finally, the arrival of our new little one, Matthew Christopher. He was born on October 26th at 12:27pm. weighing 7lbs 9oz. He arrived much faster than his sister, though his delivery was more stressful on mom and dad. His umbilical cord was wrapped around his body, and each contraction made his heart rate drop from the compression on the cord. The doctor ended up having to vacuum suction him out just to get him out faster. He came into the world happy and crying. He's a good baby...still sleeping a ton, thugh we know that will wear off! His big sister is enamored with him and loves to give him kisses and help us change his diaper.

Here are some pictures of Matthew from his first week, and some recent pics of Abigail. I hope to post more regularly, at least while I'm out on maternity leave!
