Mateo is more than a week old...

Our little opera singer...

Our little Mateo is growing every day. Yesterday when the midwife weighed him he was 8 lbs, 10 oz, so 6 oz more than his birth weight. He is a little "Nimmersatt" (never satiated), it seems, but luckily breastfeeding is going well. He is actually sleeping very well, too, so David and I are actually managing to get some rest at night. Right now my parents, Mateo's Omi and Opa are here, and it is so nice... they are enjoying their cute little grandson, and we are enjoying spending time with them, too. :)A rare thing, believe it or not...

Okay guys, any time you're ready you can get me out of here.

Mami & Mateo

Welcome to the world, baby boy!

David & I are proud to announce the arrival of Mateo Josef at 12:08am on Sunday, March 22. He weighed 8 lbs, 6 oz, and measured 21 inches. He gave us a good scare by having trouble getting his glucose and body temperature leveled off, but he received excellent care in the Special Care Nursery. Both Mateo and I are doing really well now... just tired. ;) We made it home safe and sound this afternoon, and are settling into getting to know each other and enjoying spending these first hours together.

Baby Mateo will soon be receiving his eviction notice, as you can tell from my swollen face, swollen hands, etc...
