Matthew Herbert Nelson is born!












We have been blessed with a new family member! My brother Robert and sister in law Jen welcomed their beautiful little boy Matthew on March 22nd. After a weekly Dr. appointment, her Dr. said baby needed to be delivered via c-section...right now! As soon as we got that call, we frantically packed up our things to drive to Bloomington. Right before my mom got to my house to pick up Ryan and I, I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket... text message from Robert with a picture of sweet baby Matthew. I cried for 2 reasons; one, I was overjoyed that he was born beautiful and healthy and two, because I wasn't there. My mom, Richard, Ryan and I drove down as fast as we could! All 2 hours, Ryan didn't sleep a wink...he must have been as excited as we were! We were able to go see them in the hospital that night and spent the night at their house. My mom, Ryan and I went back again a day later and spent a few days at their house helping out with their sweet baby. Our family is so lucky!!!
