Nathan Matthew King

Our baby is here!

Nathan Matthew King born July 23rd at 7:57 pm, weighing 5lbs 14 oz and 18 inches

I love my family!  Best day of my life!

 He has been here for nearly a month, it has just taken me awhile to write a quick note about the past 4 weeks!  We have been a little preoccupied getting to know our sweet baby boy!

My delivery went very well and Nathan had none of the possible problems a premature baby may of had.  We were even able to leave the hospital a day early!  After having been in the hospital so many days the previous few weeks we were very excited to go home as a family.

It has been really nice being home.  The city council had a maternal and child nurse come by the house (they have one come by everyone's home after baby-- nice, free service!) and that was helpful after a few nights home by ourselves.  They even had a few midwives from the hospital call to check on us in the first 2 weeks so we got to ask any questions we had about feeding, sleeping etc, straight away!  They have been so helpful.

Brody wasn't too sure about Nate at first and was very alarmed at every little noise he made-- luckily he got used to it and has calmed down.  Now he is back to his old ways sleeping all day, even through the crying!  I still think he looks at us sometimes like "Who's the new guy!?!"  They will be best friends before we know it.... maybe?

The past couple weeks Brian and I have settled into each of our full time jobs and have really enjoyed our weekends as a family!  Saturday morning was gorgeous so we all (including Brody) walked up the street to a cafe, sat outside and had a delicious breakfast.  Life is pretty darn good!  Here are more pictures of our little man!

 Yesterday was my due date and I just feel so blessed we had these extra weeks to love on our sweet baby.  I cant even imagine life without him!  Being his mom is seriously the best :)
