Liam Moroni Mattei made his grand entrance into the world on Tuesday, February 2, 2010 at 3:11 pm. He weighed 7 pounds 5 ounces and was 20 inches long. I feel very blessed to have had an uneventful healthy pregnancy, short labor and smooth delivery resulting in a perfectly healthy beautiful baby boy. Big brother Alex has anxiously awaited this day for 9 long months but couldn't come visit "baby bubby", as he calls him, in the hospital or at home for a week after Liam was born due to Alex having been hospitalized b a virus and his bad asthma 2 days before Lam was born. We just couldn't risk Liam catching any bad bug right off the bat so their meeting was delayed until Super Bowl Sunday. Dustin brought Alex home from grandma and grandpa Larsen's house and when he saw baby Liam his eyes grew 3 sizes and sparkled like diamonds. He spat out his binki, dropped his toy, and held out his hands exclaiming with all the zeal a 3 year old can " baby bubby, baby bubby, you came home! I wanna hold him!" It was the absolute best moment of my life to see his immense happiness over having his brother home. I feel like the luckiest mother in the whole world!
