Matthew Paul Kolodyazhny



Little Matthew arrived April 29, 2011. I had this feeling that he was going to be early...but I had no idea that he would make his appearance so early (his due date was May 31). Because he was early he was in the hospital almost a month. It was an intense experience with Lillia at home and Rachelle needing to go to the hospital 2 times a day and eventually 3-4 times a day. We are grateful that we lived through that (barely!) and now have a huge amount of empathy for anyone who has to have their baby in the hospital for an extended stay.

Matthew was born at 5 lbs. 3 oz. and he was 18 inches long. He was just under 10 lbs. at his 8 week check up. He is healthy and growing well. We love having a little boy in our family. And yes, it did take us forever to get these pictures up, but hopefully you all enjoy them. We are going to include a few pictures of Lillia and the family as well.
