I finally found the cord to my camera so I got some pictures of the paintings that everyone who came to Simon's birthday party did for his nursery. The party was so much fun, I mean it. Thank you everyone who came!
I'm really glad that we did it co-ed so that Will could come. I like him. :) He really had a fun time making all the cupcakes. He made 3 batches but only the strawberry ones made it.
Here are the chocolate ones. He forgot one of the main ingredients: flour. Pretty funny. I already told ya'll about how he'll turn up the cooking channel really loud and pretend hes a cheif. Cute.
But no worries. He tried the chocolate cupcakes again a few days ago and we've almost eaten them all by ourselves. Very good.
For the party he made a strawberry cream cheese and blue berry cream cheese fillings. They were a hit.
And speaking of getting hit...our kitchen...no words can describe. You just have to see it, so here it is.
So that's that. At least Will doesn't get the urge to bake when it looks like this.
Last but not least, look how the baby is growing!! Crazy huh? We found out yesterday that he is really scared of the vacuum cleaner. I turned it on and he went crazy. When I turned it off he got quiet for a second and then went crazy again, as if to say "don't ever do that again!" I can't wait to see his little face and figure out his crazy little personality.
Wish my arm pit was so cute!
so curious...
Well, we took a trip to Grandpa Matheson's house to visit him and let him see little Simon. He is 97! Go Grandpa! He just adores Simon and thinks he is the best thing since the wheel. But who doesn't? (Though the wheel, arguably, is pretty nifty.) Will showed him how he and Simon are training for the circus.
They're good, huh? It's pretty funny to watch. Simon just calmly looks around and slobbers on himself. Completely trusting. 
Well, Simon Lee Matheson was born on Tuesday Feb 8th, just before 4 am. We went to our doctors appointment on Monday at 9 am and because I had been bleeding and not feeling the baby move as much as usual, she sent us to monitor his heart and check the amniotic fluid. His heart seemed fine but he was really low on fluid so they induced me at about noon. I was already having contractions but they were irregular. When they broke my water they found that meconium was in the fluid so they had specialists there at the birth to clean out his lungs, in case he breathed it in. Will had me laughing during one contraction because his face was priceless. He looked like he was in more pain than I was. Simon didn't respond well to the contractions toward the end. His heart rate went really low after each one, especially when the pushing started. We were scared we might have to have a c-section but with the help of forceps, Simon came out just fine. So after about 18 hours of labor Simon was born! He did take a deep breath moments after birth so they took him down to the Neonatal ICU and monitored him for about an hour. Then he finally got to come down to my room and be with us. Everything else went so well that we got to leave a day early from the hospital. We were glad about that (for financial reasons) but I sure will miss that hospital food! It was crazy good.
