5 months and counting

Well I have been very lax about keeping the blog up and figured now would be just as good a time than any to update and bring everything up to speed. Matthew is now up to 15 lbs and growing more and more every day. We are both back to work full time and working on moving into Hilarys mothers house. Our final push is Friday May 27 - May 30.
     I know some of you have the pleasure of facebook but there are several who do not so I thought we could share some of the pictures over the past few months that really stand out. In no certain order here we go.......

This photo is from Mothers Day.

                                             Memaw and Mace at Waffle House on May 14th

Mace's first time trying something other than milk. The doctor told us to get him hooked on vegtables and then we would have it licked. Well it appears carrotts arent his first choice.

 This was the delivery of the first round of carrotts, as you can tell from the picture they werent liked.

                                                 Our first Easter at Jimmy & Lynns house.

                                                                   Cooookeaaaayyyyyy

                                       He loves his jumper about as much as his mom & dad.

                             This was from his first bath. Its kinda out of place but it had to be added.

Well I will do my best to try and keep the blog updated and everyone up to speed. No promises. Once we finally get moved and into some sort of routine im sure it will be a little bit easier. Please feel free to comment hope to see you all soon.

Introducing Matthew Ace Outen

     A lot of people told us that the delivery could take several hours up to a couple of days. The time stamp on this photo was taken at 11:59 right before lunch. Hilary was only 5cm dilated. With in an hour I had time to shave and then it was baby time. The doctor came in to measure her and before we knew it there were 5 people in the room and we were pushing for a baby. Dr. Dark was waiting with the catchers mitt on while a nurse and myself were at the helm on both of her legs. He surprising only took about an hour to be born.

    

                      I would like to introduce you to our son Matthew Ace Outen.  This is the first photo  of Matthew in the delivery room.This photo was taken at 1:32 just one minute after he was born.  

One of the nurses was very helpful on when to take pictures of Matthew and helped get the weight shot.

  This photo was taken by Dr. Dark right before the doctors and nurses left the room. Thanks Dr. Dark.

     By now everyone of you have seen our new baby boy. So just in case here are some stats. His full name is Matthew Ace Outen. He was born 6 lbs. 6.2 oz. and measuring 20.5 inches long. At his first doctors visit we found he had lost a pound which is normal. Between his first and second visit to the doctor he gained 5 oz. So we are headed in the right direction. Hopefully in the next installments of the blog you will see Matthew grow and be apart of some of the highlights going on in his life.
