Professional Pictures - One Month

Matthew Update!

Well, here is the update you all have been waiting for. Matthew is doing quite well. He is growing bigger and getting longer. We had a couple rough days with eating and sleeping, but are doing ok now. He is a good eater and sleeps pretty well. He is up about every 3 hours at night. Sometimes he will go 4-5, but not consistently. He is so fun to watch and play with now. He is constantly moving his hands and feet. We bought him a bouncer and a play mat and he absolutely adores both. He sits in his bouncer and just kicks away. Both of the toys have a setting where the music goes according to the babies movements. He gets very excited and moves a lot. He is smiling and talking a lot more. He is so fun. Hope you enjoy some pictures that I recently took. I am also posting his one month professional pictures of our handsome little man!

One Month Old, a day late!

Where has the time gone? We cannot believe it has been a Month since Matthew was born. He is doing very well. Last night he slept in his crib in his own room for the first time. He did a great job. Mommy and Daddy were able to get some much needed extra sleep. Matthew is very alert when awake and starting to talk and smile a little bit. He is a joy to have around and he brightens up our life. He now weighs 9 lb. 8.5 ounces and is doing well. He is a very good baby. Pictures to come!

Baby Update

Well, it has been an exciting, fun, and tiring couple of weeks. We are adjusting well though. It is a wonderful blessing to have such a precious little man in the house. Matthew is doing great. The doctor yesterday said he was perfect. He is a healthy boy. He is now 21" long and 8lb. 3 oz. Matthew has a lot of facial expressionswhich are very entertaining and neat to watch, especially when he is sleeping. The best is when he smiles real big while sleeping. He has even let out a laugh in his sleep. Well, here is what everyone is waiting for and wants to see. Pictures of our precious little Matthew! Enjoy!

More Baby News and Pics

It's been an eventful soon-to-be five days since going into the hospital and welcoming our son into the world. We came home Monday afternoon and since then things have gone pretty smoothly. We've gotten lots of phone calls, flowers from our friends the Heffernans and Mr. Ray and a few visits. Justin and Allison visited Monday night before heading up to Buffalo and our friend Jen Samson visited on Tuesday morning with little Josh. She made us a wonderful dinner and dessert that we enjoyed later that evening. Our little man had his first visit to the pediatrician this afternoon and everything went well. We brought him to church later this evening and he slept throughout the entire service.. no Dr. Nichols wasn't preaching. We even went grocery shopping afterwards and he didn't move a muscle save for when Jen tried to run me over with the cart. She claims it was an accident.... Here are some more pictures, hope you enjoy....

Baby Arrives - FINALLY!

Well, after a couple of weeks hearing "any day now", the day of reckoning finally arrived. After a softball beatdown and dinner out with friends, we came home - only long enough to gather our things and head for the hospital. Jen went into labor starting at 1:45 a.m. and we made the 20 minute drive to Arundel Medical Center in Annapolis, MD. After 4 hours of labor, Matthew Evan Worrell entered into the world at 19.5 inches and 6 pounds 7 ounces. Mother and baby are doing very well and all of the family is here to join in the celebration. Here are a few photos of our little man.....

Still Waiting!

Well, we are still waiting the birth of our son. It is a hard waiting game, but God is in control, and it is His timing not ours. I know many of you are looking all the time and wondering if he is here, so I just wanted to let everyone no that, unfortunately he is not here yet.

My whole family will be here on Saturday of this weekend, so hopefully he decides to come soon. It has been in the upper 90's and 100's this week. I have been inside except for getting in the car to go to church for our VBS this week.

Anyway, we will keep you posted as things happen. Thank you for all your prayers during this time.
