And baby makes 4 :)

He's here! Matthew David Bardwell was born on March 5, 2012 at 8:36 pm and we couldn't be happier! We are all finally home as a family. :-) Audrey is still figuring this whole big sister thing out but so far she is doing great. She likes to help her baby brother by getting his pacifier and covering him with blankets. She loves to pet him, too!

Finally! So relieved. :)

Spending a few minutes with our "little" man.

Dad and Matt in the NICU. He was the biggest baby there! And the cutest. :)

All ready to go home!

Teaching Audrey how to listen to Matt's heartbeat. :)

Mom and Bob were here all week taking care of Audrey and the house while we were in the hospital. LOVED having them here!!

Our handsome guy!!

Almost there...

Ok folks, we have made it almost to the end. :-) Its been over two years now since Nate and I began our journey to baby number two... and I couldn't be more thrilled that we are almost done. We are blessed! Baby Matthew is scheduled to arrive on March 16th via Cesarean section. This is in no way the ideal situation, but it has become a necessary one. The doctors have measured him at 41 weeks and 10 lbs. 11 oz.... and he is only 37 weeks currently. We have all decided that this will be the safest way to go for both of us. So excited to finally meet this new man in my life! :-)

34 weeks!

Here's Audrey trying out brother's car seat. :))

That's our boy!

Nathan, Audrey, and I got to see baby Matthew today! Audrey was so funny... she kept talking to her brother on the big TV screen during the ultrasound. She loves her brother so much already! We found out some interesting details about our son, though. I am 32 weeks pregnant, but Matt is measuring around 36 or 37 weeks and the ultrasound tech estimated his current weight at 6.8 pounds! Needless to say, he is very big already and is only going to keep growing. I freaked out a little but we all knew I was carrying a baby with giant genes. HAHA! The important thing is that he is healthy!

He had one hand up by his forehead and the other arm was stretched out in front of his face... he was sucking on it! :-)
Our cute chubby guy... and a little smirk.

Looks so much like Audrey did in her ultrasounds... chubby face and pouty lips. :-)
