Calling Nurse Julie!!

This last week in a half has been a blur since I've had two babies to take care of. John broke his foot on "Friday the 13th" and had to have surgery on it. So, needless to say he has been in bed and I have been on double duty. John has helped out with watching Matty when I need to run an errand or two. He even let me get out for dinner with the ISU group which was much needed.

John is back to work today which is GREAT!! He has crutches and a boot. Pray for a quick healing process for him (and for me)!!!


Update on Matty- He is 5 weeks today and growing like a weed. 12 pounds 8 ounces. He smiles and follows you with his eyes. Loves his pacificer.

Matthew John is Here

Matthew was born on April 21st at 1:57pm( 2 hours of pushing)
9 pounds 7 ounces 22 inches long

I delivered at Liberty Hospital and had the most amazing nurses- my friend Jaime (Henderson) Graham was my nurse and gave me the special treatment!! I went in to be induced since I was 41 weeks along. I spent the night on Wednesday night and got pitocin(ouch!) and had my water broken at 9am on Thursday. Yes, I got drugs... I really wished I could have skipped them but that pitocin really kicked me in the butt!! During the birth Matt had a bowel movement in the womb so when he came out we had a army of nurses ready to clean out his air ways which was really scary since no one told us what was going on( this is very common in over due babies)... within a minute he was breathing on his own and fine. The nurses said he was being naughty in in there.

I will post pictures soon. Nights are a bit rough but I'm sure he will get better.

Lots of Love,
Julie, John and Matthew

Bless You

I went to lunch with my friend Susie today and we went to Sam's Club after to get a few things. A lady right at the door asked me when I was due and I replied last week. She looked at me with wide eyes and said- Bless you, sweetie and patted me on the shoulder.

Can't wait to meet this little boy. We go in on Wednesday night to be induced so hopefully by Thursday afternoon we will have a baby!!! With all this waiting it's crazy to believe that John and I will be parents!!!!!!! I feel very blessed and to have him on such an important week! Matthew means a gift from God and he truly is. Our little miracle.

Love, Julie
