At 1:45 pm Thursday the 18th of February Brock Adam Matthews was born. Krista started having cramps the day before, but they never amounted to anything until 4 am that night. Her contractions were about 10 minutes apart until 7:30 then they all of a sudden were 3 minutes apart so we rushed to the hospital in Highland Park. She was dilated to a 5 on arrival, so the nurses rushed to get an IV running and she quickly go an epidural. From then on out it was smooth sailing. Krista only had to push twice and Brock came right out. We stayed at the hospital for two days so Krista could get some good rest. Krista's mom had gotten into town the night before so she was able to watch Andee for us. Andee was able to visit in the hospital a couple of times and seems excited to have a little brother. She loves to tell everybody that Brock is "My brother." We're home now and Krista's mom is staying for another week, so it will be good to have the extra help. We are so happy to have Brock safely here.

That is awesome. We are so excited for you guys. Boys are the best, and well see how girls go. We cant wait to see you guys! who knows when?
Two pushes- Krista you're amazing. Congratulations guys.
I think the transition to two kids was harder than the transition to one. But after a while, you'll get the routines down. Daphne's turning two next month, and I've definitely got it down now! Andee will have to learn patience as you tend to Brock, nursing and changing diapers. I remember telling Dayton all the time, "Mommy can't, Mommy's nursing." He eventually learned to wait.
