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.

Baby's Room!

Hello All!

I just wanted to give a little update. We just finished the baby's room yesterday afternoon after church. All I have to do is pack the bags for the hospital and get the car seat in the car. It is so exciting to see how the Lord has worked everything out and how everything has come together. All my worrying about getting everything done for nothing. God is good.

The baby's room is done. We ordered furniture a week ago from this past Thursday and were told 7 to 14 days till it came in. I was hoping it would be more on the 7 day end instead of 14. Well, Wednesday during the late afternoon I received a call from BabiesRUs telling me that our furniture was in. Most of it was in on Tuesday and the last piece came in on Wednesday. Needless to say I was very excited that it came in early. The one thing we have to figure out was how to get the furniture to our house. The only days you can pick up furniture is Tuesday through Thursday from 5 - 7 PM, or Saturday from 9:30 till 11:00 AM. Well, we didn't have it delivered because it cost over $100 to do that. So, we contacted one friend of ours who is finishing our basement to see if he could help us and he was busy. We contacted our neighbors to see about their help and they were busy. So, a little later our neighbors called up and worked somthing out and we were able to borrow their truck to go pick up our furniture Thursday night. We got home with the furniture and Stan and our neighbor unloaded everything and unpacked everything in the babies room. The fun thing was that every box had that white foam in it, so our house looked like Buffalo in the winter. Lots of white snow everywhere.

Anyway, on Friday night Stan, Emily and I put all the furniture together, dusted it and put it where we wanted it in the room. My dad is in Africa on a missions trip, so my mom came to spend the weekend with us here in Pasadena, MD. On Saturday my mom and I got all the clothes and everything washed, put away, and done. On Sunday afternoon after church before mom left to go home, we hung the wall hangings and now, the room is complete!!

Lastly, I just wanted to let you know I have posted more pictures of the completed room so you can see what our sons room looks like.

Thank you for all your prayers as we await the blessed arrival of our wonderful miracle.

Well, many of you are saying it is about time. We have been busy finishing our basement and getting ready for the baby it has been hard to post anything. I just wanted to post a few things and pictures to update you with what is going on.
I have about 7 1/2 weeks left till our baby boy is born. We are anxiously awaiting his arrival. We are very excited about our new addition. It is a little stressful at this time with getting the room done, but God is in control and is working everything out. Hopefully the baby doesn't decide to come early. We have a lot of thing to purchase to get ready for our bundle of joy. Please pray that we are able to get the room done and get everything we need for when our son is born. God is good.
I will post some pictures of me during the earlier part of my pregnancy, and then hopefully I will be able to keep up with my posts and be regular at posting them with pictures.
Well, I will do my best to keep everyone updated on the progress of my pregnancy and keep you posted on what we are doing with our lives. This is a start. Thanks a bunch!
