Jacob Turns One Week Old & Abby Celebrates Valentine's Day!

On Thursday our little guy turned one week old. Here are a couple pictures from that day. Also, my sweet friend Lacy put together a Valentine's party the day before Jacob was born so I am including some pictures from our fabulously fun day at her and Ellie's (her daughter) house.

Daddy loves to play the guitar for Jacob - and Jacob loves to listen.

Sweet Baby Boy

Yummy Valentine's cookies - with lots of icing!

Fun with friends.

Lacy took these wonderful pictures of all the preggos and their little girls. Thanks so much, Lacy!

My last day to be pregnant with Jacob!

Jacob David Reyes is Here!!!

Our son, Jacob David Reyes was born at 12:32 pm on Thursday, February 12th! He weighs 7 pounds, 4 ounces and is 20 inches long. We came home from the hospital yesterday and all is well. Abby is proving to be the amazing big sister that we knew she would be. Thank you all so much for your prayers. Here are some pictures.

Baby Boy Reyes Update!

We just wanted to let everyone know that I am scheduled to be induced at 5 am on Thursday, February 12th! Today is our little guy's due date but I guess he doesn't know that. So... we will get to meet our son in only two days! Please pray for a healthy baby and a labor and delivery free of complications. Thank you!

San Antonio Rodeo

We spent Sunday afternoon at the San Antonio Rodeo. This was not Matthew's first rodeo but Abby and I had never been before. One of the subcontractors Matthew works with got us the tickets and we were on the front row. We were showered many times with dirt as the horses and bulls ran (or sometimes bucked) right by us. After the rodeo we spent some time at the carnival and the petting zoo.
By the way, I am still pregnant with baby boy - if I would have had the option I may have ridden a mechanical bull or something to induce labor but we couldn't find one...
We had a fun time and look forward to getting to go back to the rodeo next year!

Cowgirl Abby (as she referred to herself all afternoon) still wearing her name tag from Sunday School and a sticker that reads "Dear God, please help me obey my parents." They are learning about prayer and every week there is something different to pray for. We'll see how this week goes... actually, we are thankful to have a little girl that is very obedient for the most part.

Isn't this amazing?

Maybe a little crazy...

A Wonderful Story!

One of my sorority sisters from Baylor and her husband just adopted a beautiful baby boy. Here is a link to their blog so you can read their amazing story and see pictures of Michael Reid. Our own little boy will be here any day!
