Meet Matthew Anthony

He's here!! Our Matty arrived on June 18th at 7:51pm. He is such a precious gift!


We did have an unplanned c-section. Turns out our "little" one weighed 9 lbs, 4 ozs when he was born. He was 21 inches long. He definitely wasn't a fat baby...just long!!


Unfortunately, we developed a little bit of jaundice before he left the hospital and Matty had to spend some time on a bili bed to help him process the bilirubin that was in his system (we learned a lot about that during the first few days of his life!). That also led to a bout of dehydration that weekend which landed us back in the hospital -- although this time it was Children's Hospital of Atlanta at Scottish Rite. I have to say, we were incredibly impressed with their facilities and attention to families.

Our first visitors after Matty was born were Grandfather, Lynnie and Aunt Carrie. All seemed to be taken with our little guy!



Aunt Carrie is a natural with the babies

And not to worry...it took just seconds for this little guy to steal his Daddy's heart as well!!





Matty and Daddy played "got your nose" at his first pediatrician visit

Matty got here just in time to see David Wright's 1,500th career hit. He also got to see a little bit of Zach Wheeler's major league debut here in Atlanta!! Not to worry...he is already a Mets fan! In fact, he was already wearing his very own David Wright onesie when he met Cobb.



I'm not sure Cobb is all that impressed with this tiny human that has permanently moved in.

We did take a minute to check out the pool as well -- he doesn't look impressed, does he?

I'm sure there are PLENTY more pictures to come...but to tide you over until then...




Until next time...
