Hard to Believe

It is hard to believe that my baby is already two weeks old! He is such a joy. I just love his little hands and feet; and his little ears and nose; and his soft, soft head. He is such a sweet baby, pretty content for the most part. He has become so much more alert, looking at my face and turning his head to hear voices. He loves to be talked to and cuddled and kissed. We love him so much.

Our Second Son

We are so happy to announce the birth of our second born Matthew Jonathan Engell. He was born at 6:41 in the evening on Tuesday August 14th. He weighed 8 lbs. 4 oz. and was 21 inches long.  My labor went really smooth this time and wasn't overly long. I went into labor around 7:30 in the morning. I kept going about my normal business for awhile. My contractions started picking up around ten.  And everything went steady and smoothly from there. I don't remember when the pushing started but it doesn't seem like it was too long.  And then Matthew was born at 6:41. I felt so good after he was born just relaxing in my bed holding my sweet little son.
