Baby Mathews was born yesterday afternoon at 2:04PM. He weighed in at 5lbs. 11ozs. Jana is doing well and is in good spirits.
The baby is surprisingly handsome (compared to his two older brothers, also born at 35weeks). He came a bit early and needs some special attention at this point but he is in good hands. Please keep him in your prayers.
I don't frequent "The Meanest Mom" but I know Jana appreciates all your support, whether you are a close friend or a loyal reader on the other side of the country (or world for that matter).
"The Nicest Dad"
Congratulations on your baby boy! You all will be in my prayers. Enjoy your baby.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I can't wait to see him and hear what his name will be. I hope everything goes smoothly.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. I hope he (and Jana) have a short uneventful stay with the hospital.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting that she had him.
I'm totally a lurker, but this is definitely worthy of a comment. "The Nicest Dad"...I love it! :O)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your newest family member. I too can't wait to hear the name. My prayers are with your family for a quick recovery of both mama and baby.
Congratulations! I hope everything went smoothly for you and you both have a short hospital stay! Best wishes to you and all your babes!
ReplyDeleteCongrats Mathews Family!!! I will definitely keep you guys in my prayers. I was going to post another choice of name but I'm sure you already have a great one. I was going to suggest
ReplyDelete"Kelvin"
because I went to school with a boy named Kelvin. It's a nice name...not too traumatic and Jana would love that nobody ever got it right. We were always calling him KEVIN or CALVIN...but not on purpose!
God bless.
Congrats and I'll be praying for your family.
ReplyDeleteWOW! So soon! Hope everything goes well! Thinking of you!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I will keep you all in my prayers. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! You and your family is in my thoughts. =) I hope everyone is home soon!
ReplyDeleteWe're very happy for you guys though we don't know you from adam and eve. My wife and I are intimately acquainted with high-risk pregnancies so we empathize with any (even minor) complications.
ReplyDeleteOur prayers are with you, your wife and new son (and the other three rugrats too :) )
Congrats yall. Praying for every one. New babies are so wonderful. Hope his little problems straighten out rather quickly. Love and prayers.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I can't wait to get the full birth story!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the family!
ReplyDeleteI guess she really was needing those name suggestions. Can't wait to hear all about it.
Congrats can't wait to hear more and see pics. Your wife keeps us laughing daily!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!! We will keep your family in our prayers.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the new addition to the family. Glad to hear both Mom and baby are doing well. Also, very excited to hear the name.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I'll be praying for a short stay for the little guy.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Can't wait to see him and hear the name you picked!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! That's wonderful.
ReplyDeleteJana, Your sweet family will be in our prayers. I hope you are doing well and that you are getting some rest. Can't wait to see the newest perpetrator!
ReplyDeleteLove,
lis
Yay! I hated the last 5 weeks of pregnancy anyway... congratulations, I hope everything goes well with their stay at the hospital. Thanks for letting so many of us be a part of your family's lives.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the 4th! Now Jana can go back to wearing whatever shoes she darn well pleases!! Can't wait for photos and the big name reveal!!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteSo, what's the name going to be??? Can't wait to see what you picked!
Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you and your family! Cannot wait to see a picture and hear what the name is. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! That is so exciting. I loved the "nicest dad" comment.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! My youngest was a 35-weeker too (although the dr thinks my dates were off and she was even earlier) and I still remember that extended stay in the NICU as if it were yesterday, not almost 5 years ago! Will be praying for your family this week :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd every mean mom needs a nice dad - it'sa good balance ;)
Congrats!!
ReplyDeleteI'm a little jealous considering I'm now 40 weeks with no sign of anything happening, but I'm very happy for you!
I'm excited to hear his name.
Happy Birthday BABY!!
ReplyDeleteCONGRATS!!!! :::sniff::: my triplets were 35 weekers, it seems like yesterday.....
ReplyDeletePrayers!
I'll be keeping your family in my prayers. Good luck, congrats, and we can't wait to see pictures!
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS!!! Can't wait to see some pictures and what name was picked. :)
ReplyDeleteI was that little when I was born too! Course, Im a twin so its a little different. Im a long time lurker but had to take this opportunity to congratulate you on the new birth! Hope you make a fast recovery and that your little boy will be home soon.
ReplyDeleteAWESOME!!!
ReplyDeleteyay, congratulations.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to read the post about how they won't let you sleep at the hospital because they have to check your vitals every 10 minutes.
I think "elizabeth" may have inadvertently given you the PERFECT name for your son! Name him Matthew! How much fun would it be for the child to be named Matthew Mathews? Not ONLY would he have the distinction of being different from his siblings (which they would praise him for to no end, and give him countless hours of joy!), but he wouldn't have to remember an extra name. However, just to keep the variety in there, as well as teaching him about open-mindedness and variety, you should spell it with two T's. Matthew Mathews. It's brilliant... His elementary school friends will be jealous and all want to be his friend, giving him good self-esteem to no bounds.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. Hopefully you will both br home soon. We just wish "Spike" would get here!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!! I am so happy to hear that Jana is doing well! I hope your little boy is in good health as well! I will be keeping him in my thoughts! :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I hope everything goes well and he is home soon. Rest up while you can Jana!
ReplyDeleteOn a random side note, he shares the same birthday with my niece, who was also born yesterday.
Congrats, Tim & Jana and gang! Hope it's a short, uneventful stay for you all...just long enough to get a bit of rest (since there will be none once you get back home!)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!! Enjoy that baby boy!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear more about the little guy and to see pictures!
Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteYea for baby boys! Congratulations:)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I can't wait to hear what the name is and to see pictures.
ReplyDeletengratulations also. And "The Nicest Dad"---so funny.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new baby boy. I am glad Jana is doing well and lots of prayers to your son and family. hugs to all.
ReplyDeleteThank you for updating us, that was very nice indeed.
Congratulations! I'm rooting for you guys and hope that you'll all be home soon!
ReplyDeleteAW - YAY!!! I wish there was another word besides Congratulations: wait, I looked up synonyms (Dr. Mathews) and I found Well Done! Not sure that particular word applies, but nonetheless I am so excited for you!
ReplyDeleteI am anxiously awaiting, like so many others, pictures and his name! I do like Matthew Mathews - his middle name could be a K: wait a minute....my son is named Matthew Kerlin, huh, go figure!
How are the other three doing? Is Camber okay with the new addition?
So exciting! And when Jana is feeling up to sligthly gross October activities, again, she can just show the other three how to change diapers ;)
ReplyDeletePrayers that your little guy will be stronger by the minute! Congratulations!
congratulations on your baby boy! You will be in our prayers.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I hope it's just as awesome as I remember being up fiftenn thousand times in one night... I hope your son comes home soon from the NICU... I'll keep little boy Matthews in my prayers!
