Pictures!!!

We had quite an eventful day yesterday! After having contractions for 9 hours yesterday, Matthew decided he didn't want to come naturally. Several times yesterday morning, his heart rate would drop, causing some concern with the doctor. So, at 1:32 yesterday afternoon, they wheeled Jamie into surgery to get him out. He arrived soon after at 1:39. Jamie is recovering quite well. When I left the hospital this morning, she was getting ready to get up for the first time and take a shower. She's hoping to get something to eat later today or possibly tomorrow. She hasn't eaten anything since Friday night, so I am sure she will be quite ready. Matthew has had several visitors, including grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, and our pastor. He is a very popular guy right now! Jamie will be in the hospital for several more days, and the goal is to be home on Friday. I came home this morning just to post a few pictures and get away from the hospital for a little bit. So, here goes...



Pretty happy little guy so far...Not in this picture, though!!


Mommy and Matthew...He seems to take to her quite well.
Cousins Jacob and Matthew...One of my favorite pictures of the day! Jacob came right in the room and said, "Baby!"

He is maybe 5 minutes old in this picture. As you can see, he has a little bit of hair. The pediatrician says that all his parts are in the right place and he is a perfect little boy...something we already knew!
I'll try to post more pictures as the days and weeks go on.
