2 Weeks Old

It is hard to believe Mathias is already 2 weeks old. My how time flys! So far everything is going well. He is a little gasey, but cute. He still sleeps a lot. The boys are enjoying him, especially Jeriah who is always hugging him and saying, "What's the matter baby" or "Its ok baby."
I managed to successfully tote all 3 kids to a doctor appointment and a children's program at church on Wednesday, by myself. The true test of my mother of 3 status, however, will start Sunday when Eric goes to California again for the week. I covet your prayers.

Baby has a name

Yes, he finally has a name. We could have stayed in the hospital a few more days trying to decide if they would have let us and if I could have put up with more "yummy" hospital food.
Here he is :
Mathias Kanoa Therkildsen, born Wednesday, February 11, 2009 at 601am after a very quick and natural delivery-finally! I guess 3rd times the charm!
Mathias means "Gift of God" and its origin is Hebrew and Greek. Pronunciation: (mah THY ahss)
Kanoa means "the Free one" and its origin is Hawaiian. Pronunciation:(kah NOE ah)
We are home and doing well. The Clayton and Jeriah are enjoying their "baby"

Baby #3 is has Arrived!

We found that baby living in my wife's uterus yesterday at 6am (EST).
It was a BOY!!  8 pounds 8 ounces and 22 inches long.  That makes boy
number 3!!!  We are still working on the name...

I have also learned from my 4 year old that the baby currently wants
to eat chicken and he will never want to play with "big boy" toys
because he is going to stay a baby and only sleep, not play with
toys... interesting.

Not too much to report right now. Just waiting for baby to "pop out" as my children put it. Jeriah just had his 3rd birthday on friday. We had fun playing at Bounceland for a couple hours.
Clayton is really enjoying sledding and Eric just taught him to play "King of the Mountain"
If all goes well, maybe we will see some of you during spring break--we'll see.
