For those who LIKE hearing about babies, Matthew James was born on December 3 at 1:19pm. Despite my fears that he'd be a big baby, he was about the same size as his sister at birth, 7lbs 13oz and 21 inches long (making me feel better that he'll grow to be almost as tall as his first name namesake).
Sadly, he's not home yet: he's been in a step-down nursery (not NICU, but not home either) for the last week while his breathing was monitored, since the cartilage around his windpipe that helps hold it open isn't fully formed and hardened yet. We're hoping he'll come home soon, especially now that he's been assigned a monitor to use at home, and he hasn't had any spontaneous episodes of breathing difficulty.
Right now, pics are only up on FB. You can PM me for the link, or wait 'til I put them somewhere else like Photobucket or something to be able to put up here.
